THIS
LEASE is made and entered into as of the 31st day of December, 2007, by and
between XXXXXXX PROPERTIES – 3301 EXPOSITION, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“Landlord”) and
GENIUS PRODUCTS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”).
1.
Lease
of
Premises.
1.1
Premises,
Building and Project. Landlord
hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, subject
to the
terms, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, those certain
premises (the “Premises”) shown on the
drawing attached hereto as Exhibit “A-1”,
consisting of approximately 40,520 square feet of Rentable Area (defined
in
Exhibit “B”
attached hereto) constituting the ground floor of the “Building” defined as the three
(3) story office building and related improvements to be constructed on a
portion of that certain real property in Santa Monica, California legally
described on Exhibit
“A-2” attached
hereto, commonly known as 0000 Xxxxxxxxxx
Xxxxxxxxx. The Building is a part of a production and post-production
office building/retail complex located at 3003-3301 Exposition Boulevard
known
as “Lantana
South.” Lantana South is adjacent to a production and
post-production office building/retail complex known as “Lantana North,” located on
that certain real property in Santa Monica, California, commonly known as
2900-3030 Olympic Boulevard (Lantana North and Lantana South are commonly
referred to collectively as the “Lantana Campus”), all of which
is located on land (the “Land”) generally bordered
by
Olympic Boulevard on the north, Exposition Boulevard on the south, a portion
of
Xxxxxxx Street on the west and separately-owned adjacent property on the
east. Lantana South, the above and below-grade parking garages and
the at-grade parking facilities used in connection with the Building (the
“Parking Area”), the Land on
which Lantana South and the Parking Area are situated and all other
improvements, parks and plazas now or hereafter constructed on such Land,
except
improvements which tenants may remove pursuant to the terms of their respective
leases, are collectively referred to herein as the “Project.” Tenant
acknowledges that this Lease is subject to all existing liens, encumbrances,
deeds of trust, reciprocal easement agreements, development agreements,
covenants, conditional use permits, master plans, reservations, restrictions
and
other matters of record affecting the Premises (including the Development
Agreement and CC&R’s defined in Section 2.2 below),
as well as all Applicable Laws (as defined in Section
31.14).
1.2
Measurement
of Premises and Building. Upon
substantial completion of construction of the Building, Landlord shall deliver
notice (a “Measurement
Notice”) to Tenant setting forth Landlord's determination, in accordance
with Exhibit
“B,” of the
Rentable Area of the Premises and the
Building. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a Measurement
Notice, Tenant shall have the right, upon notice (the “Remeasurement Notice”)
delivered to Landlord, to remeasure, in accordance with Exhibit “B,” the
Premises and the Building. If a dispute occurs regarding the final
accuracy of the measurement of the Premises and/or the Building, Landlord
and
Tenant shall use good faith efforts to agree upon the appropriate Rentable
Area. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement, then either
party shall have the option, upon notice to the other party (the “Square Footage Arbitration
Notice”) on or before the date occurring sixty (60) days after the
delivery of the Measurement Notice or the Remeasurement Notice last delivered
in
accordance with this Section 1.2, to
submit such dispute to an arbitration procedure as hereinafter
provided. If neither party timely delivers the Square Footage
Arbitration Notice, then the determination set forth in the Measurement Notice
or the Remeasurement Notice last delivered in accordance with this Section 1.2 shall
be
final and binding. If the determination of the Rentable Area of the
Premises or the Buildings or any portion thereof, as the case may be, is
appropriately submitted to arbitration, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint
one arbitrator who shall by profession be a licensed space planner/designer
or
licensed architect, or a professional measurer of office space, and who shall
have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such
appointment in the calculation of square footages in commercial properties
in
the Santa Xxxxxx submarket. The determination of the arbitrators
shall be limited solely to the issue of determining the actual Rentable Area
of
the Premises or the Building, as the case may be, taking into account the
requirements of Exhibit
“B.” Each such
arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen
(15) days after the delivery of the Square Footage Arbitration
Notice.
(a)
The two arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) days of the date of
the
appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third
arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth hereinabove
for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators.
-1-
(b)
The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of
the
third arbitrator reach a decision as to the actual Rentable Area of the Premises
or the Building or the applicable portion thereof, as the case may be, and
shall
notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
(c)
The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon
Landlord or Tenant.
(d)
If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen
(15)
days after the delivery of the Square Footage Arbitration Notice, the arbitrator
appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant
thereof, and such arbitrator’s decision shall be binding upon Landlord and
Tenant.
(e)
If the two arbitrators cannot mutually agree upon a third arbitrator within
the
applicable 10 day period, or if both parties shall fail to appoint an
arbitrator, then the parties shall jointly apply (or either party may
individually apply) to the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court for the
County
in which the Project is located, requesting said Judge to appoint a sole
arbitrator qualified under the criteria set forth hereinabove.
(f)
Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the arbitrator appointed solely
by
such party and all fees and expenses of the third arbitrator shall be borne
equally by Landlord and Tenant.
If
through such process, whether by acceptance of the measurements in the
Measurement Notice, acceptance of the measurements in the Remeasurement Notice,
or by arbitration, it is determined that the Rentable Area of the Building
or
the Premises shall be different from that set forth in this Lease, any such
amounts, percentages, and/or figures based upon such incorrect amounts shall
be
modified in accordance with such determination and such modification shall
be
retroactive to the date when such amounts, percentages and figures commenced
to
be used under this Lease, and any payments and credits previously made or
given
based upon the incorrect amount shall be reconciled between the parties within
thirty (30) days after the corrected measurement has been
determined. If such determination is made, it will be confirmed in
writing by Landlord and Tenant. In addition, any adjusted amounts
pursuant to this Section 1.2
shall be reflected in the Memorandum to be executed by the parties pursuant
to
Section 3.1
below.
1.3
Improvement. Tenant
acknowledges that, so long as such change does not have a material adverse
impact on Tenant’s rights or obligations under the Lease, and subject to
Landlord’s compliance with the other provisions of this Lease (including,
without limitation, Exhibit “D,” attached
hereto), the shape and size of the Project and any existing or contemplated
improvements in the Project may be changed in the sole and absolute discretion
of Landlord, and Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have
the
right, but not the obligation, to construct additional improvements to the
Project, including, without limitation, additional production, post-production
office and/or retail improvements, common areas and other related
improvements. Tenant acknowledges that portions of the Project
may be under construction following Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, and that
such construction may result in levels of noise, dust, obstruction of access,
etc. which are in excess of that present in a fully-constructed
project. Tenant hereby waives any and all rent (as defined in Section 4.3 below)
offsets or claims of constructive eviction which may arise in connection
with
such construction; provided that Landlord shall endeavor to cause the least
disruption practicable to Tenant and to Tenant’s use of the Premises while
performing such construction, and subject to the provisions of Article 6
below. Similarly, any diminution or shutting off of light, air, or
view by any structure that may be erected on lands adjacent to or in the
vicinity of the Building and changes from time to time in the development
plans
for the Project shall not affect this Lease or impose any liability on
Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that it has not relied on any
representations, whether oral or written, regarding any improvements, other
than
the Premises, that may comprise the Project in entering into this
Lease.
2.
Purpose.
2.1
Use. The
Premises may be used for office uses, production, post-production office
and any
other uses allowed under the Development Agreement and CC&Rs (defined below)
in keeping with the character of a first-class building
complex. Without limiting the foregoing, permitted office uses do not
include uses for a medical practice, modeling, personnel or counseling agency,
training center (except for training of Tenant’s employees and customers
necessarily incidental to Tenant’s business at the Premises), retail sales
operation, showroom, classroom, testing center or non-incidental
storage. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the common
areas and public areas in the Project, including any outside courtyard that
may
be constructed in connection with the Building.
-2-
2.2
Limitation
on Uses. Tenant
shall not use or occupy the Premises, or permit the use or occupancy of the
Premises, in any manner or for any purpose which: (a) would violate any
Applicable Laws including, without limitation, those with respect to hazardous
or toxic materials, or the provisions of any applicable governmental permit
or
document related to the Project (including without limitation, the Development
Agreement by and between Lantana South Xxxxx Development, LLC, a limited
liability company (predecessor-in-interest to Landlord), and the City of
Santa
Xxxxxx recorded November 19, 2004 as Instrument Number
00-0000000 in the Official Records of the Los Angeles County Recorder
(as amended from time to time) (the “Development Agreement”) and
the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and Easements for
Lantana South (as amended from time to time) (the “CC&Rs”)); (b) would
adversely affect or render more expensive any fire or other insurance maintained
by Landlord for the Building or any of its contents, it being acknowledged
by
Landlord that Tenant’s use of the Premises for office uses pursuant to the first
sentence of Section
2.1 above shall not, in and of itself, adversely affect or render more
expensive any such insurance; or (c) would materially impair or interfere
with any of the services and systems of the Building, including without
limitation, the Building’s electrical, mechanical, vertical transportation,
sprinkler, fire and life safety, structural, plumbing, security, heating,
ventilation and air conditioning systems (collectively, the “Building Systems”) or the
janitorial, security and building maintenance services (collectively, the
“Service
Facilities”).
3.
Term.
3.1
Commencement
Date.
The term of this Lease (the
“Term”) shall commence
on the date (the “Commencement
Date”) which is five (5) months after the Occupancy Date (as defined
below) and shall end on the last day of the One Hundred Twentieth (120th) full calendar
month
following the Commencement Date (the “Expiration Date”), unless
sooner terminated pursuant hereto or extended pursuant to Section 3.4
hereof. Landlord shall prepare the Premises for occupancy by Tenant
in accordance with the provisions of Landlord’s Improvement Letter, attached
hereto as Exhibit ”D.” The
“Occupancy
Date” for the
Premises shall occur on the date on which each of the following conditions
have
been satisfied:
(a)
the Building Systems are operational to the extent necessary to service the
Premises;
(b)
Landlord has substantially completed the Tenant Improvements, Base Building
Improvements and Base Building Delivery Conditions, as defined in and in
accordance with Exhibit ”D”
attached hereto, other than details of construction, decoration and minor
mechanical adjustments which do not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of
the Premises (i.e. punch list items) and any items to be installed by Tenant
(excluding any Tenant Improvements or Base Building Improvements which are
delayed by a Tenant Delay (as defined in Exhibit
“D”));
(c)
there are sufficient means of access to the Premises and Parking Area;
and
(d)
Landlord has (i) obtained a Certificate of Occupancy (or Temporary Certificate
of Occupancy) or equivalent permit (such as a signed off building permit
card)
from the City of Santa Xxxxxx permitting occupancy of the Premises, or (ii)
completed all Base Building Improvements and all Tenant Improvements necessary
to entitle Landlord to the issuance of such Certificate of Occupancy or such
temporary Certificate of Occupancy or equivalent permit referred to in clause
(i) above in this Subsection (d), other
than any Tenant Improvements or Base Building Improvements, the non-completion
of which shall be due to any Tenant Delay and other than punch list items
which
do not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises.
Promptly
following the Occupancy Date, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the Commencement
Date and the Expiration Date by executing and delivering a Memorandum of
Commencement Date in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C.” If
Tenant fails to execute and deliver such Memorandum of Commencement Date
to
Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, which failure continues
for at least ten (10) days after a second written request from Landlord after
the lapse of the first ten (10) day period, then the Commencement Date and
Expiration Date shall be the dates designated by Landlord.
3.2
Beneficial
Occupancy of Premises. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, Tenant may occupy the Premises
during
the five (5) month period from the Occupancy Date through the Commencement
Date,
and all of the provisions of this Lease shall be in full force and effect;
provided, however, no
-3-
Basic
Rent or Additional Rent pursuant to Article 5 shall
be
payable with respect to the Premises until the Commencement Date; provided
further, however, that Tenant shall pay parking charges hereunder for all
parking actually used by Tenant during such period and Tenant shall pay for
any
special services (such as After-Hours HVAC) provided to Tenant at Tenant’s
request. Upon not less than ten (10) business days prior written
notice to Tenant (“Beneficial
Occupancy Payoff Notice”), Landlord shall have the right at any time or
times selected by Landlord (“Beneficial Occupancy Payoff
Date(s)”) to pay to Tenant on the applicable Beneficial Occupancy Payoff
Date all or any portion of the present value of the rent abatement attributable
to such period of beneficial occupancy, with such present value determined
using
the existing schedule of remaining rent abatement as of the date of the
applicable Beneficial Occupancy Payoff Notice and calculated by discounting
such
amounts of the rent abatement to the applicable Beneficial Occupancy Payoff
Date
at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, calculated on a monthly basis
(hereinafter, a “Payoff
Amount”). Landlord shall be entitled to give Tenant written
notice of any exercise of Landlord’s election to pay a Payoff Amount hereunder
at any time prior to the monthly rent payment date for which such Payoff
Amount
is being paid. Any Beneficial Occupancy Payoff Notice shall specify
the Payoff Amount, the month(s) to which the Payoff Amount pertains and the
applicable Beneficial Occupancy Payoff Date(s). Upon payment of any
such Payoff Amount to Tenant on the applicable Beneficial Occupancy Payoff
Date,
Tenant shall no longer be entitled to beneficial occupancy under this Section 3.2 for the
month(s) for which such Payoff Amount has been so paid, and Tenant shall
pay
Rent for its occupancy of the Premises during such month(s) in accordance
with
this Lease.
3.3
Acceptance
of Premises. By

4.
Basic
Rent.
The
basic
annual rent payable to Landlord (“Basic Rent”) shall be as set
forth in this Article 4.
4.1
Initial
Basic Rent. Subject
to Section 3.2
above, for the period beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing until
Basic Rent is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2,
Tenant shall pay Landlord Basic Rent for the Premises in the amount of Two
Million Forty-Two Thousand Two Hundred Eight Dollars ($2,042,208) annually,
which is equal to the total Rentable Area of the Premises multiplied by the
annual rent of Fifty and 40/100 Dollars ($50.40) per square foot of Rentable
Area in the Premises. Such initial Basic Rent for the Premises shall
be payable in equal monthly installments of One Hundred Seventy Thousand
One
Hundred Eighty-Four Dollars ($170,184), each installment being payable in
advance on the first day of each calendar month beginning on the Commencement
Date, subject to Section 3.2 above,
and continuing until Basic Rent is adjusted pursuant to Section 4.2. Basic
Rent hereunder is subject to increase pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph
4.2(c) of Exhibit
“D” attached
hereto.
4.2
Adjustment
of Basic Rent. On
the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each subsequent
anniversary of the Commencement Date during the Term (each such anniversary
date
is referred to as an “Adjustment Date”), the Basic
Rent per square foot of Rentable Area of the Premises shall be increased
by an
amount equal to four percent (4%) of the Basic Rent, expressed as an amount
per
square foot of Rentable Area, payable by Tenant hereunder during the twelve
month period immediately preceding such Adjustment Date. Tenant shall
pay the increased Basic Rent in equal monthly installments on the first day
of
each calendar month beginning on each such Adjustment Date and continuing
until
the Basic Rent is further increased hereunder. Said adjustments of
the Basic Rent shall not limit any subsequent rent adjustments pursuant to
Article 5
hereof. Landlord shall endeavor to give written notice to Tenant, at
least thirty (30) days prior to each Adjustment Date, setting forth the total
amount of Basic Rent due on a monthly basis beginning on such Adjustment
Date. Any such notices shall be given as a courtesy only, shall not
result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, and shall not limit Landlord’s
ability to collect a different amount of Basic Rent (consistent with the
terms
of this Lease) than that set forth in the notice.
4.3
Other
Terms. If
the obligation to pay any portion of the Basic Rent begins on a day other
than
the first day of a calendar month, or ends on a day other than the last day
of a
calendar month, or if Basic Rent is increased on a day other than the first
day
of a calendar month, Basic Rent for such beginning month, ending month or
month
in which Basic Rent is increased shall be prorated based upon the number
of days
in the applicable month and the period during such month for which such Basic
Rent obligation continues. Basic Rent, together with all other sums
due hereunder (herein called “Additional Rent”), shall be
paid to the Landlord without deduction or offset of any kind, and in advance
and
without demand (except as otherwise herein expressly provided) in lawful
money
of the United States at the office of Landlord at the Project or such other
location and/or to such other person as Landlord may from time to time designate
in writing. The Basic Rent and Additional Rent may sometimes be
referred to herein collectively as the “rent.”

(a)
“Direct Expenses” shall
mean Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses.
(b)
“Expense Year” shall
mean each calendar year in which any portion of the Term falls, through and
including the calendar year in which the Term expires, provided that Landlord,
upon notice to Tenant, may change the Expense Year from time to time to any
other twelve (12) consecutive month period, and in the event of any such
change,
Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall be equitably adjusted for any Expense
Year involved in any such change.
-5-
(c)
“Operating Expenses”
shall mean the total
of all actual costs incurred by Landlord in connection with
the management, operation, maintenance, cleaning, protecting, servicing and
repair of the Project. Landlord shall attribute Operating Expenses
for the entire Project to different structures in the Project in such manner
as
Landlord may reasonably determine. Consistent with the standard of
operation set forth in Paragraph 5.1(f)
below, Operating Expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) the cost
of providing, managing, operating, maintaining and repairing air conditioning,
sprinkler, fire and life safety, electricity, steam, heating, mechanical,

cost
of supplies and equipment and maintenance and service contracts in connection

landscaping, gardening, trash removal, telephone service, janitorial service,
light bulb and tube replacement, and supplies, security and parking shuttle
service (if any); (iii) the cost of fire, extended coverage, boiler,
sprinkler, apparatus, public liability, property damage, rent, earthquake

other insurance; (iv) wages, salaries and other labor costs including
taxes, insurance, retirement, medical and other employee benefits, including,
without limitation, such costs for a transportation system manager and/or
rideshare coordinator for the Project (if any); (v) fees, charges and other

Project on an annual basis) if Landlord performs management services in
connection with the Project; (vi) the fair market rental value of the
Project manager’s offices and storage areas in the Building, provided said
offices and storage areas are devoted solely to the management, operation,
maintenance or repair of the Project; (vii) the cost of business licenses;
(viii) fees imposed by any federal, state or local government for fire and
police protection, trash removal, community services, or other similar services
which do not constitute Tax Expenses as defined in Paragraph 5.1(d);
(ix) any charges which are payable by Landlord pursuant to a service

or
pursuant to any other lawful means; (x) the reasonable costs of contesting

Operating Expenses; (xi) capital costs incurred in connection with any
equipment, device or other improvement reasonably anticipated to achieve
economies in the operation (including, without limitation, through energy
conservation), maintenance or repair of the Project or portion thereof (provided
such reasonably anticipated economies are reasonably evident before the capital
cost is incurred in a comparison of the savings reasonably anticipated to
be
achieved from the capital item to the amortization of the expected cost of
such
capital items as set forth hereinbelow), or to comply with Applicable Laws
not
effective with respect to the Project on the date hereof, or required for
the
health and safety of the occupants of the Project; provided, however, the
same

unamortized cost) over the useful life of the relevant capital item as
reasonably determined by Landlord; and (xii) depreciation of the cost of
acquiring or the rental expense of personal property used in the maintenance,
operation and repair of the Building or Project. For purposes of
computing rent adjustments pursuant to this Article 5,
Operating Expenses for the entire Project shall be equitably allocated and
charged to Tenant as an amount per square foot of Rentable
Area. Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to reflect one hundred
percent (100%) occupancy of the Project during any period in which the Project
is not one hundred percent (100%) occupied. Landlord shall have the
right, from time to time, to reasonably and equitably allocate some or all
of
the Operating Expenses for the Project among separate buildings of the Project
and among different portions, such as office, retail or other appropriate
portions, of the Project (“Cost
Pools”) in accordance with generally accepted accounting and management
practices consistently applied. The Operating Expenses within each
such Cost Pool shall be reasonably and equitably allocated and charged to
the
tenants within such Cost Pool as an amount per square foot of Rentable Area,
based on the total Rentable Area within such Cost Pool and shall include
proper
allocation to a retail Cost Pool (and not to the office Cost Pool which includes
the Premises) of costs arising out of the operation, management, maintenance
or
repair of any retail premises in the Project or any other retail areas operated
by Landlord or its agents, contractors, licensees or vendors to the extent
such
costs are uniquely attributable (and separately identifiable) to such retail
premises or areas (as opposed to general office use tenancies) or are
extraordinary, separately identifiable expenses arising in connection
therewith. Operating Expenses shall not include the
following:
(1)
Costs which are reimbursed by insurance;
(2)
Leasing commissions paid to agents of Landlord, other brokers or any other
persons in connection with the leasing of premises in the Building or any
other
portion of the Project;

The depreciation of the Building and other real property structures in the
Project;
(7)
Interest, points and fees on debt or amortization payments on any real property
mortgages or deeds of trust and ground lease payments;
(8)
Legal and other related expenses associated with the negotiation and enforcement

(10)
Landlord’s general corporate overhead and general administrative expenses not
directly related to the operation of the Project;
(11)
Costs associated with the operation of the business of the limited liability
company or entity which constitutes Landlord as the same are distinguished
from
the costs of operation of the Building, including limited liability company
accounting and legal matters, costs of defending any lawsuits with any mortgagee
(except as the actions of Tenant may be in issue), and costs of selling,
syndicating, financing, mortgaging or hypothecating any of Landlord’s interest
in the Project;
(12)
Any compensation paid to clerks or attendants in commercial concessions operated
by Landlord;
(13)
All items and services for which Tenant or any other tenant in the Building
reimburses Landlord, provided that, any item or service supplied selectively
to

and
attendants, bookkeeping, garage keepers’ liability insurance, parking management
fees, tickets and uniforms directly incurred in operating the parking

the
Building and other portions of the Project except as otherwise included in
Operating Expenses pursuant to this Paragraph 5.1(c);

Costs of repairs to structural and/or latent defects to the Building or Project
and modifications to the Building or Project due to Landlord’s failure, if any,
to construct the Building and Project in full compliance with governmental
regulations, ordinances and laws effective with respect to such construction
at
the time of such construction, and, if the Building or Project is in violation
of Applicable Law on the Occupancy Date, any costs incurred by Landlord to
comply with such Applicable Law;
(17)
Subject to Paragraph 5.1(c)(v)
or as specifically provided otherwise in this Lease, and including the
management fees payable to Landlord or its subsidiaries or affiliates, the
overhead and profit increments paid to Landlord, or to any subsidiary or
affiliate of Landlord, for goods and/or services in the Building, to the
extent
such overhead and profit increments exceed the costs of comparable first-class,
high quality goods and/or services, delivered or rendered by unaffiliated
third
parties of comparable reputation, stature, experience and quality to Landlord,
on a competitive basis; provided that a management fee equal to three percent
(3%) of the gross revenues of the Project annually, payable to Landlord or
its
affiliate, shall be permitted as part of Operating Expenses;
-7-
(18)
Costs arising from the presence of Hazardous Materials (defined in Section 31.18),
including costs of clean-up, remediation, monitoring, management and
administration thereof and defense of claims related to (x) the presence
of such
materials (collectively, the “Environmental Costs”), in or
about the Premises, Building or Land, which are incurred as a result of the
presence of such materials in the Project as of the date hereof, or (y) which
were thereafter placed thereon by Landlord or Landlord’s agents or contractors
in the course of construction or operation of the Project, or (z) with respect
to Hazardous Materials which migrate to the Project from other property after
the date hereof to the extent such costs are properly capitalized under
generally accepted accounting and management practices; provided, however,
unless
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents
or
employees, Operating Expenses shall include costs arising in connection with
the
clean-up, remediation, monitoring, management and administration of (and
defense
of claims related to) Hazardous Materials used by Landlord in connection

date.
(d)
“Tax Expenses” shall
mean all taxes, assessments (special or otherwise) and charges payable by
Landlord and levied upon or with respect to the Project and advalorem
taxes on
personal property used in connection therewith. Tax Expenses shall
include, without limitation, any tax, fee or excise on the act of entering
into
this Lease, on the occupancy of Tenant, the rent hereunder or in connection
with
the business of owning and/or renting space in the Project which are now
or
hereafter levied or assessed against Landlord by the United States of America,
the State of California or any political subdivision, public corporation,
district or other political or public entity, and shall also include any
other
tax, assessment, fee or excise, however described (whether general or special,
ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen), which may be levied or
assessed in lieu of, as a substitute for, or as an addition to, any other
Tax
Expenses. Landlord may pay any such special assessments in
installments when allowed by law, in which case Tax Expenses shall include
any
interest charged thereon. Tax Expenses shall also include any private
assessments or the Building’s contribution towards a private cost-sharing
agreement for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of service
and
amenities normally provided by governmental agencies. Tax Expenses
shall also include reasonable legal fees, costs and disbursements incurred
in
connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Tax
Expenses. Tax Expenses shall not include income, franchise, transfer,
inheritance or capital stock taxes, unless, due to a change in the method
of
taxation, any of such taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord, in whole
or
in part, in lieu of, as a substitute for or as an addition to, any other
tax
which would otherwise constitute Tax Expenses.
(e)
“Tenant’s Share” shall
mean the product
of (i) Direct Expenses for the Expense Year expressed as an amount per square
foot of Rentable Area of the Project, multiplied by (ii) the number of square
feet in the Rentable Area of the Premises.
(f)
Standard
of Operation. Landlord covenants and agrees that it will cause
the Project to be operated and managed in a manner consistent with that of
a
reasonably prudent building manager of a first class, office building in
the
Santa Xxxxxx/West Los Angeles area, and in a manner which is efficient and
reasonably controls Direct Expenses but is consistent with the first-class
nature of the Project.
-8-
5.2
Payment. Prior
to the commencement of each Lease Year, or as soon thereafter as possible,
Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement containing Landlord’s reasonable
estimate of the Direct Expenses for such Lease Year and a calculation of
the
Additional Rent, if any, payable by Tenant for such Lease Year pursuant to
this
Article 5 on
the basis of such estimate. In addition to paying the Basic Rent
specified in Article
4, Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of the annual Direct Expenses for the
Project. If the Lease Year is a full year, Tenant shall pay
to
Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of said Additional Rent on each
monthly rent payment date during such year (commencing on January 1) until
further adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.2. If
the Lease Year is a partial year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on each monthly
rent payment date in such partial year an amount equal to said Additional
Rent
divided by the number of months in said partial Lease Year. If
Landlord’s statement is furnished after the start of the Lease Year, then on the
next monthly rent payment date Tenant shall pay the entire portion of the
Additional Rent attributable to portions of the Lease Year prior to such
date. Not more often than twice in any Lease Year, Landlord may
reasonably adjust Tenant’s monthly rent payments under this Article 5 from
time to time during the Lease Year to reflect the then current or estimated
Direct Expenses and actual expenditures made during the elapsed portion of
the
Lease Year. Following each Lease Year, Landlord shall furnish to
Tenant a statement prepared by a firm of certified public accountants selected
by Landlord showing the actual Direct Expenses during the previous Lease
Year,
and Landlord shall compute any charge or credit to Tenant necessary to adjust
rent previously paid by Tenant to reflect the actual Direct
Expenses. If such statement and computation reveal an underpayment,
Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord an amount equal to such underpayment
(whether or not this Lease has expired or been terminated), and if such
statement and computation show an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the
next
monthly rental payment of Tenant with an amount equal to such overpayment,
or,
if the Term has expired, refund the overpayment to Tenant.
5.3
Lease
Year; Proration. “Lease
Year” shall mean the
whole or partial calendar year commencing on the Commencement Date and ending
on
December 31 of the year in which the Commencement Date occurs, and all
subsequent calendar years within the Term. The amount of Additional
Rent payable under this Article 5 shall
be proportionately abated in the case of a partial month or if the Lease
Year is
less than 365 days.
5.4
ReassessmentProtection. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event that, at any
time
during the first five (5) years of the Term (the “Protection Period”), any
change in ownership of the Building is consummated (“Adjustment Event”) and if in
connection therewith, the Building is reassessed (the “Reassessment”) for real estate
tax purposes by the appropriate governmental authority under Article XIIIA
of
the Constitution of the State of California and statutory implementations
thereof, then the terms of this Section 5.4 shall
apply.
(a)
Adjusted
Tax Basis. For purposes of this Section
5.4, the term
“Adjusted Tax Basis”
shall mean
an amount equal to the Tax Expenses (as defined in Paragraph 5.1(d)
above) grossed up to reflect a fully completed, fully occupied Building with
all
tenants paying full rent, which amount shall be increased annually, on each
Adjustment Date (as defined in Section 4.2 above),
by two percent (2%) of the Adjusted Tax Basis in effect immediately prior
to the
date of such increase.
(b)
Excess
Real Property Taxes. For purposes of this Section
5.4, the term
“Excess Real Property
Taxes” shall mean the amount by which the Tax Expenses payable under this
Lease during the Protection Period without regard to this Section 5.4 following
an Adjustment Event exceeds the Tax Expenses that would have been payable
if the
Building were assessed using the Adjusted Tax Basis during the Protection
Period.
(c)
Tenant’s
Protected Tax Share. For purposes of this Section
5.4, the term
“Tenant’s Protected Tax
Share” shall mean Excess Real Property Taxes per square foot of Rentable
Area in the Premises, calculated for each year within the Protection Period
and
prorated on the basis of a 365 day year for any partial year within the
Protection Period for which a Reassessment is effective.
(d)
Protection. For
the period commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing through the
first
thirty-six (36) months of the Term, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay
any
portion of Tenant’s Protected Tax Share. For the period commencing on
the first day of the thirty-seventh (37th)
month
of the Term and continuing through the end of the forty-eighth (48th)
month
of the Term, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay fifty percent (50%) of
Tenant’s Protected Tax Share. For the period commencing on the first
day of forty-ninth (49th)
month
of the Term and continuing until the last day of the sixtieth (60th)
month
of the Term, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay thirty percent (30%) of
Tenant’s Protected Tax Share. For the period commencing on the first
day of the sixty-first (61st)
month
of the Term and continuing for the remainder of the Term (including any Renewal
Term, if applicable), this Section 5.4 shall
no
longer apply and Tenant shall pay the full amount of Tenant’s Share
of Tax Expenses included in Direct Expenses.
-9-
(e)
Landlord’s
Right to Purchase Tenant’s Protected Share. Landlord may
elect, by notice to Tenant at any time following an Adjustment Event, to
purchase (and to eliminate) all or any portion of Tenant’s Protected Tax Share
and to cause Tenant to be obligated to pay the full amount of the Tax Expenses
without regard to Tenant’s Protected Tax Share by paying to Tenant an amount
equal to the Protected Share Purchase Price (defined below) with respect
thereto. As used herein, “Protected Share Purchase
Price” shall mean the present value of Tenant’s Protected Tax Share then
remaining (or if less than all of the same is to be purchased by Landlord,
the
portion to be so purchased) as of the date of payment (by Landlord to Tenant)
of
the Protected Share Purchase Price, utilizing a discount rate equal to eight
percent (8%) per annum.
5.5
Records;
Audit. Landlord
shall maintain in a safe and orderly manner all of its records pertaining
to the
Additional Rent (including Direct Expenses and records relating to any
reassessments applicable to the Project) payable pursuant to this Article 5 for a
period of three (3) years after the completion of each calendar
year. Landlord shall maintain such records on a current basis and in
sufficient detail to permit adequate review thereof and, at all reasonable
times, copies of such records shall be available to Tenant’s accounting
personnel (but not other representatives except as set forth in this Section 5.5) for such
purposes at the management office of the Project. In connection with
such inspection, Tenant and Tenant’s agents must agree in advance to follow
Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations regarding inspections of Landlord’s
records, and shall execute a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement
regarding such inspection. If Tenant disputes
the
year-end statement provided under Section 5.2 above,
provided an Event of Default (as defined in Article 22) does
not
exist, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days
after
receipt of Landlord’s statement for a particular Lease Year, cause an audit to
be commenced of the Direct Expenses for such Lease Year by a nationally or
regionally recognized firm of certified public accountants on a non-contingency
fee basis, at Tenant’s sole expense, to verify if Landlord’s statement was
accurate. If such audit reveals an overpayment of Direct Expenses for
the year covered by such statement, then, provided Landlord does not dispute
the
result of such audit, Landlord shall refund the overpayment within thirty
(30)
days. If such audit reveals an underpayment of Direct Expenses for
the year covered by the most recent statement, then Tenant shall pay the
same
within thirty (30) days, or if the Term has expired, within fifteen (15)
days
after receipt of the audit results. Tenant’s failure to dispute a
year-end statement and commence an audit of Direct Expenses within ninety
(90)
days after receipt of Landlord’s statement for a particular Lease Year shall
constitute Tenant’s acknowledgment of the accuracy of such
statement. No audit hereunder shall be permitted after termination of
the Lease, and Tenant agrees to keep the results of any audit hereunder
confidential, except as required by law and/or to enforce Tenant’s rights
hereunder. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of any audit hereunder by
Tenant; provided that if it is finally determined with respect to any Lease
Year, that Landlord has billed Tenant for Tenant’s share of Direct Expenses more
than five percent (5%) in excess of the Direct Expenses that Tenant should
pay
for such Lease Year pursuant to the terms of the Lease, then Landlord shall
pay
the reasonable cost of such audit.
6.
Abatement
for Untenantability.
If
the
Premises or any portion thereof are rendered untenantable and are not used
by
Tenant for a period of five (5) consecutive business days or twelve (12)
business days in any twelve (12) month period (the “Eligibility Period”) as a
result of (i) failure in the water, sewage, air conditioning, heating,
ventilating or electrical systems of the Project, or (ii) as a result of
any
Damage (as defined in Section 12.1)
(any such event described in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be sometimes
referred to as an “Abatement
Event”), Tenant’s rent shall be reduced and abated after the expiration
of the Eligibility Period for such time as the Premises or such portion thereof
remain untenantable and are not used by Tenant, in the proportion that the
Rentable Area of the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable and not
used
by Tenant bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises, provided, however,
there shall be no abatement of rent: (a) to the extent Landlord provides to
Tenant other space in the Project which is reasonably suited for the temporary
operation of Tenant’s business, (b) to the extent the Damage or failure of
Building Systems is caused in whole or in part by the negligent or willful
acts
or omissions of Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or
invitees, or (c) to the extent the rent abatement is not actually covered
by rental loss insurance, which Landlord agrees to carry so long as such
coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms. However, if
due to the causes referred to in the first sentence of this Article 6, any
portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable for a period of time in
excess
of the Eligibility Period, and the remaining portion of the Premises is not
sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and
if
Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for
such
time after expiration of the Eligibility Period during which Tenant is so
prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the rent for
the
entire Premises shall be
-10-
abated;
provided, however, if Tenant reoccupies and conducts its business from any
portion of the Premises during such period, the rent allocable to such
reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the Rentable Area of such
reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total Rentable Area of the
Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date such business operations
commence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any rent abatement
under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent for all services
and
utilities provided to and used by Tenant during the period of the rent
abatement. To the extent rental loss insurance carried by Landlord,
the premiums for which are included in Direct Expenses, covers rent loss
for any
portion of the Eligibility Period, the Eligibility Period shall be reduced
to
the extent of such coverage. If the untenantability of the Premises
with respect to an Abatement Event described in clause (i) of this Article 6 continues
for thirty (30) consecutive days, the same shall be considered an event of
Damage under Article
12, and Landlord shall be obligated to give the Repair Notice specified
in Section 12.3
as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within thirty (30) days after
the expiration of said thirty (30) day period.
7.
Utilities
and Services.
7.1
Landlord
Obligations. Landlord
shall furnish the following services and utilities to the Premises, the cost
of
which shall be included in Operating Expenses except as specifically provided
otherwise herein, during the periods from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,
Monday through Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday, except New
Year’s Eve Day, New Year’s Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve Day, Christmas Day (on the days
such
holidays are generally observed) and such other holidays as are generally
recognized in the Los Angeles-Santa Monica, California area, and subject
to
rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord (such hours
and
days of operation are herein called “Normal Working
Hours”):
(a)
HVAC. Landlord
shall furnish heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) in amounts required
for
the use and occupancy of the Premises for normal office purposes. The
HVAC system for the Building shall be designed and installed in accordance
with
the Base Building Plans and Specifications set forth in Exhibit “D”
hereto. Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent,
use any equipment or lighting or occupy the Premises with personnel so that
heat
generated by such use or occupancy affects the ambient temperature otherwise
maintained in the Premises by the HVAC system under normal
operation. In the event such use or occupancy affects the ambient
temperature, Landlord shall have the right to install any machinery or equipment
which Landlord reasonably deems necessary to restore temperature balance,
including without limitation, modifications to the standard air conditioning
equipment, and the cost thereof including the cost of installation and any
additional cost of operation and maintenance incurred thereby, shall be paid
by
Tenant to Landlord upon demand by Landlord. Landlord makes no
representation with respect to the adequacy or fitness of the HVAC equipment
in
the Building to maintain temperatures that may be required for, or because
of,
any equipment of Tenant, and Landlord shall have no liability for loss or
damage
in connection therewith. Landlord shall also provide HVAC services
during other than Normal Working Hours (“After Hours HVAC”), subject to
the following terms and conditions:
(1)
Landlord shall provide the After Hours HVAC pursuant to any automated system
installed for the Building in accordance with Exhibit “D” hereto,
or, if no such automated system is installed, in the event Tenant gives Landlord
advance notice of its need for such service no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday
through Friday (except holidays referred to above) that Tenant requires the
services, and upon at least two (2) hours advance notice on weekends or holidays
that Tenant requires the service.
(2)
Landlord will provide the After Hours HVAC at the “Actual Cost,” defined in Section
7.2
below. The foregoing direct charges shall be payable by Tenant as
Additional Rent on the next rent payment date at least fifteen (15) days
following submission of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor by
Landlord.
(b)
Electricity. Landlord
shall furnish sufficient electric power at 277 volts, single phase, to supply
tenant lighting load permitted by the State of California, Title 24 energy
code
(1.5 xxxxx per square foot of Usable Area) and sufficient power at 120/208
volts, three phase, four wire, for 1.5 xxxxx connected load per square foot
of
Usable Area for office power. If specifically approved by Landlord,
additional power may be made available at 480 volts, three phase, for additional
power and/or air-conditioning requirements up to the limit of available building
power taking into account potential needs of other tenants and a reasonable
safety factor. The cost of
-11-
equipment
and installation for transformers, panel boards, bus duct taps, feeders,
and
other items required for the utilization of such additional power shall be
paid
by Tenant. Landlord may establish commercially reasonable measures to
conserve energy and water, including but not limited to, automatic light
shut
off after Normal Working Hours in unoccupied areas and efficient lighting
forms,
so long as these measures do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the
Premises. Without the prior written consent of Landlord, which
Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, Tenant shall not install or operate
any
machinery, appliances or equipment in the Premises, which will (i) create
a
Design Problem (as defined in Paragraph 8.1(c),
(ii) have an adverse effect on the structural components of the Building
or on
the Building Systems (including any demand on Building Systems or Building
Structure which is greater than their design loads), or (iii) result in a
violation of Applicable Laws; nor connect any apparatus, device, machinery,
appliances or equipment (except through electrical outlets in the Premises),
for
the purpose of using electric current. Use of five (5) xxxxx per
square foot of Rentable Area for power and lighting within the Premises per
month (other than electric current for Building HVAC) is referred to herein
as
the “Standard Consumption
Amount.” Tenant agrees to pay directly (instead of as part of
Direct Expenses and in addition to payments of Direct Expenses pursuant to
Section 5.1) for
the cost of electric current (at rates no higher than that charged by the
public
utility providing similar service based on average annual utility rates)
used by
Tenant in the Premises which exceeds the Standard Consumption
Amount. Landlord may install a submeter on each floor or floors of
the Premises to determine the actual amount of electric current which Tenant
is
utilizing from time to time. If such submeter indicates that Tenant’s
usage of electric current for power and lighting in the Premises (excluding
electric current for Building HVAC) exceeds the Standard Consumption Amount,
and
that the allocation of electricity costs to all tenants in the Building through
Direct Expenses is, therefore, materially distorted or unfair, then Tenant
shall
pay directly (instead of as part of Direct Expenses) for the actual
cost of such excess electric current usage plus any additional expense incurred
in keeping account of the electric current so consumed, on a monthly basis
within thirty (30) days after delivery of an invoice therefor.
(c)
Elevators. Landlord
shall furnish elevator services to the Premises during Normal Working
Hours. During all other hours, Landlord shall furnish elevator cab
service and, by prior arrangement with Landlord’s project manager, use of
Building elevators for freight. In addition, if Tenant requires
extended or uninterrupted use of the elevators for other than normal deliveries
to the Premises (such as for a special move or alterations), then Landlord
shall
provide elevator service by prior arrangement with the manager of the Building
the cost of which shall be charged to Tenant in accordance with Section 7.2.
(d)
Water. Landlord
shall make available water for normal lavatory and drinking purposes to be
drawn
from the public lavatory in the core of the floor on which the Premises are
located.
(e)
Janitorial. Landlord
shall provide janitorial service five (5) nights per week and window washing
generally consistent with that furnished in other first-class office buildings
in Santa Monica, California. Landlord’s janitorial services shall be
consistent with the Cleaning Schedule attached to this Lease as Exhibit “H”. Tenant
will reasonably cooperate with any Building-wide recycling programs to reduce
the Building’s contribution to the waste stream. Landlord shall not
be required to provide other than Building standard janitorial services for
portions of the Premises used for storage, mailroom, storage room or similar
purposes, or preparing or consuming food or beverages, nor shall Landlord
be
required to provide janitorial services to areas secured, obstructed or locked
by Tenant, or used as a lavatory, other than the lavatory rooms shown on
the
floor plans of the Premises attached to this Lease as
Exhibit “A”.
(f)
Access;
Security. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant’s employees and
agents access to the Premises and Parking Area on a seven (7) day per week,
twenty-four (24) hour per day basis, subject to compliance with such security
measures as shall from time to time be in effect for the Building and/or
the
Project, Landlord maintenance activities and subject to the rules and
regulations from time to time established by Landlord. Landlord shall
provide building security equipment, procedures and personnel which are
comparable with those used in the Project generally and in other comparable
first-class office buildings in Santa Xxxxxx. Landlord does not
warrant the effectiveness of said security equipment, procedures and personnel
and Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to provide additional
security equipment or personnel in the Premises, provided that Landlord is
given
reasonable access to the Premises and that any such security system installed
by
Tenant complies with all applicable codes and shall not create any material
security risk to the Building or materially adversely affect the rights of
other
tenants in the Project. To the extent that it is feasible to link
Tenant’s additional security equipment and system for the Premises, if any, to
the security system for the Project, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant
to
cause security access cards or other devices provided to Tenant for access
to
the Project to provide access to the Premises in connection with Tenant’s
additional security system, provided that all costs associated with such
linking
of Landlord’s and Tenant’s security systems shall be borne solely by
Tenant.
-12-
(g)
Antenna. Landlord
and Tenant shall enter into a license agreement, on terms set forth in Exhibit “I” attached
hereto, which license agreement shall grant Tenant a license to maintain,
upon
such portion of the rooftop of the Building as is designated by Landlord,
one
(1) antenna and one (1) satellite dish at no cost to Tenant, subject to Tenant’s
compliance with the rules and regulations reasonably promulgated by Landlord,
from time to time, with respect to use of, and access to, the rooftop of
the
Building. Tenant shall pay for the maintenance and repair of all
antennas, satellite dishes and/or other equipment placed upon such licensed
portion of the Building’s rooftop (collectively, “Antenna Facilities”), as well
as all utilities used to operate such Antenna Facilities. Except in
the event of an emergency, Tenant covenants to repair, maintain and remove
its
Antenna Facilities during Normal Working Hours. The installation of
Tenant’s Antenna Facilities shall be engineered by Landlord’s engineers at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Such installation of Tenant’s Antenna
Facilities, including the aesthetic compatibility of such Antenna Facilities
with the design and appearance of the Building and the height and weight
of the
Antenna Facilities, shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
7.2
Extraordinary
Services. Freight
and passenger elevator services, HVAC, electricity, water, and access to
and use
of the loading dock facilities will be available twenty-four (24) hours a
day,
subject to the provisions of this Article 7. Landlord
may impose a direct charge at Landlord’s Actual Cost (defined below) and
establish reasonable rules and regulations for any of the following: (a)
the use
of After Hours HVAC by Tenant; (b) the usage of any services provided to
Tenant (including without limitation, freight elevator service, or use of
the
loading dock facilities by Tenant) at any time other than during Normal Working
Hours; (c) additional or unusual janitorial services required because of
any
unusual, non-building standard improvements in the Premises, the negligence
of
Tenant, the nature of Tenant’s business (including the operation of Tenant’s
business other than during Normal Working Hours); and (d) the removal of
any refuse and rubbish from the Premises except for discarded material placed
in
wastepaper baskets and left for emptying as an incident to Landlord’s normal
cleaning of the Premises. The foregoing direct charges shall be
payable by Tenant as Additional Rent on the next rent payment date after
submission of an invoice therefor by Landlord. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have the
right,
at its option and at its cost (subject to Article 5), to
meter and charge all tenants in the Building, including Tenant, directly
for
their use of electricity and HVAC within their respective premises at the
Actual
Cost for such service. In such event, Tenant shall pay such charges
as Additional Rent on a monthly basis within thirty (30) days after invoice
therefor, and all such charges shall be excluded from Operating Expenses
under
Article
5. “Actual
Cost” is defined as the actual costs incurred by Landlord in providing
any particular service, including Landlord’s reasonable estimate of related
administrative cost for the cost of such service (to the extent not duplicative
of costs included in Operating Expenses) and, if applicable, depreciation
related to the increased utilization of equipment used in providing the
service. In the event Landlord provides a service to Tenant and one
or more other tenants at the same time, Landlord shall equitably allocate
the
Actual Cost among those receiving such service.
7.3
Interruption
in Utility Services. Landlord
shall not be liable for damages or otherwise for failure, stoppage or
interruption of any services or utilities or unavailability of access to
the
Project, nor shall the same be construed either as an eviction of Tenant,
or
result in an abatement of rent (except as provided in Article 6), when
such failure is caused by acts of God, accidents, breakage, repairs, strikes,
lockouts, other labor disputes, other force majeure events,
or by the making of repairs, alterations or improvements to the Premises or
the Building, or the limitation, curtailment, rationing or restriction on
supply
of fuel, steam, water, electricity, labor or other supplies or for any other
condition beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including without limitation,
any governmental energy conservation program or legal requirement. If
any governmental entity imposes mandatory or voluntary controls or guidelines
on
Landlord or the Project or any part thereof, relating to the services provided
by Landlord, or the reduction of emissions, Landlord may make such alterations
to the Building or any other part of the Project related thereto and take
such
other steps as are necessary to comply with such controls and guidelines,
the
cost of such compliance and alterations shall be included in Operating Expenses,
and Landlord shall not be liable therefor, for damages or otherwise, nor
shall
the same be construed either as an eviction of Tenant, or result in an abatement
of rent.
-13-
8.
Alterations.
8.1
Restriction
on Alterations.
(a)
The construction of the initial Tenant Improvements to the Premises shall
be
governed by the terms of the Tenant Improvement Letter attached hereto as
Exhibit
“D.” Tenant
may make alterations, additions or improvements to
the Premises after the Occupancy Date (collectively, “Alterations”) which do not
create a Design Problem (as defined in Paragraph 8.1(c)),
provided Tenant submits its plans, including floor load calculations, for
such
Alterations to Landlord at least ten (10) business days prior to commencement
of
construction of such Alterations (except as to decorative items, minor repairs
or installations of trade fixtures, furniture and equipment for which plans
are
not required) and subject to Landlord’s consent to the extent required under
Paragraph
8.1(b). Alterations shall be scheduled through Landlord and
each of Tenant’s contractors shall cooperate and coordinate with Landlord and
Landlord’s contractor so that there shall be no disruption of the Building
Systems or Service Facilities or of any other construction on or in the
Project. Within ten (10) days after receipt of the plans for
Alterations, Landlord shall inform Tenant, in good faith, whether such
Alterations will create a Design Problem. If Landlord indicates that
such Alterations will create a Design Problem, Landlord will have five (5)
additional days to inform Tenant of its disapproval, and the specific Design
Problems which are the reasons for such disapproval, and what changes or
conditions could be made or satisfied to eliminate the Design Problems and
obtain Landlord’s approval. Under no circumstances shall Tenant make
any Alterations that create a Design Problem without Landlord’s prior consent,
which Landlord may withhold in its discretion.
(b)
If the proposed Alterations in, to or about the Premises or the Building
individually or cumulatively will not create a Design Problem, Tenant may
make
such Alterations with the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord
shall not unreasonably withhold or delay beyond ten (10) days following request
for the consent and any submittal of plans required hereunder, and which
may
only be conditioned upon (i) the right to reasonably approve the plans and
specifications for any work provided that Landlord shall not disapprove such
plans if a Design Problem is not created, (ii) the right to require reasonable
supplemental construction insurance satisfactory to Landlord and naming Landlord
as an additional insured, (iii) reasonable requirements as to the manner
in
which or the time or times at which work may be performed and (iv) the right
to
approve the contractor or contractors to perform the Alterations, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No approval shall be required
to
(A) paint or cover walls, (B) for the installation of the floor covering,
provided the manner of installing the floor covering is subject to Landlord
approval, (C) for the installation of trade fixtures, furniture and equipment
which do not create a Design Problem, or (D) for the installation of any
other
minor interior decorative alterations which do not create a Design Problem,
do
not cost in excess of $25,000.00 per job and do not require the issuance
of any
permits, provided that any such minor alterations shall be subject to the
notice
requirement set forth in Paragraph
8.1(a).
(c)
All Alterations shall be compatible with the Project and completed in accordance
with Landlord’s reasonable, non-discriminatory requirements, Applicable Laws,
all applicable rules, regulations and requirements of governmental authorities
and all applicable reasonable rules, regulations and requirements of insurance
carriers. The outside appearance of the Building shall not be
affected by any Alteration, the use of the Building shall not be materially,
adversely affected by any Alteration and no Alteration shall materially weaken
or impair the structural strength of the Building or create the potential
for
unusual expenses to be incurred upon the removal of the Alterations and the
restoration of the Premises upon the termination of this Lease unless Tenant
agrees to pay for the incremental removal cost caused by the non-typical
Alterations. No part of the Building outside of the Premises shall be
materially, adversely affected by any Alteration; the proper functioning
of the
Building structure, Building Systems and Service Facilities shall not be
materially, adversely affected by any Alteration (nor shall any Alteration
involve or permit the installation of equipment or other fixtures or
improvements which exceeds the capacities of the Building structure or Building
Systems unless Tenant authorizes Landlord to modify, at Tenant’s expense, the
Building Systems to increase such capacity and such modification does not
otherwise create a Design Problem) and there shall be no Alteration which
materially, adversely interferes with Landlord’s free access to the Building
Systems or materially, adversely interferes with the moving of Landlord’s
equipment to or from the enclosures containing the Building
Systems. No Alteration shall materially, adversely affect any other
tenant or occupant of the Project. Any Alteration that violates any
of the foregoing restrictions of this Paragraph 8.1(c)
shall be deemed to create a “Design Problem.”
-14-
8.2
Costs
and
Protections. Tenant
shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s reasonable out-of pocket costs to third party
consultants for reviewing and inspecting all Alterations to assure full
compliance with all of Landlord’s requirements in the entire
Premises. Landlord does not expressly or implicitly covenant or
warrant that any plans or specifications submitted by Tenant are safe or
that
the same comply with any applicable laws, ordinances, codes, rules or
regulations. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with copies of all contracts, receipts, paid vouchers, and any other
documentation (including, without limitation, “as-built” drawings, air/water
balancing reports, permits and inspection certificates) in connection with
the
construction of such Alterations. Tenant shall promptly pay all costs
incurred in connection with all Alterations. Any increase in any tax,
assessment or charge levied or assessed as a result of any Alterations shall
be
payable by Tenant in accordance with Article 5.
8.3
Removal
and Surrender of Fixtures and Alterations. All
Alterations and all Tenant Improvements installed in the Premises which are
attached to, or built into, the Premises, shall become the property of Landlord
and, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, shall be surrendered with
the
Premises, as a part thereof, at the end of the Term; provided, however, Landlord
may, by written notice to Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the end
of
the Term, require Tenant to remove any Alterations or Tenant Improvements
designated by Landlord to be removed (but not any Alteration or Tenant
Improvements unless the same are not likely to be usable by a subsequent
single
floor general office tenant), and to repair any damage to the Premises, the
Building, and any other part of the Project caused by such removal, all at
Tenant’s sole expense and to the reasonable satisfaction of
Landlord. Any articles of personal property including business and
trade fixtures not attached to, or built into, the Premises, machinery and
equipment, free-standing cabinet work, and movable partitions, which were
installed by Tenant in the Premises as part of the Tenant Improvements or
otherwise, shall be and remain the property of Tenant and may be removed
by
Tenant at any time during the Term as long as Tenant is not in default hereunder
(following the lapse of any applicable notice and cure periods) and provided
that Tenant repairs to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction any damage to the
Premises, the Building and any other part of the Project caused by such
removal. With respect to Tenant Improvements attached to or built
into the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall each own undivided interests
in
such Tenant Improvements to the extent, in the case of Landlord, provided
or
paid for by Landlord, and, in the case of Tenant, the portion of the cost
of
such Tenant Improvements paid for by Tenant. For purposes of the
insurance requirements of Section 11.2,
Tenant shall be deemed to have an insurable interest in all of the Tenant
Improvements and Alterations in the Premises during the Term, as between
Landlord and Tenant, and the same shall be surrendered with the Premises
on
termination of this Lease, as set forth above.
8.4
Standard
Window Covering. Subject
to the provisions of Exhibit “D” hereto,
Tenant shall use the Building standard window covering as specified by Landlord
and Landlord reserves the right to approve or disapprove of interior
improvements visible from the ground level outside the Building on wholly
aesthetic grounds. Such improvements must be submitted for Landlord’s
written approval prior to installation, or Landlord may remove or replace
such
items at Tenant’s sole expense upon at least twenty (20) days prior notice to
Tenant.
9.
Maintenance
and Repairs.
9.1
Tenant’s
Obligations. Except
for Landlord’s obligations specifically set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall,
at Tenant’s sole expense, keep the Premises and every part thereof clean and in
good condition and repair and Landlord shall have no obligation to alter,
remodel, improve, repair, decorate or paint the Premises or any part
thereof.
9.2
Landlord’s
Obligations. Subject
to Article 12,
Landlord shall repair and maintain the Building structures and Building Systems
in a manner consistent with that of a reasonably prudent building owner of
a
first-class office building in the Santa Xxxxxx/West Los Angeles area
(including, without limitation, the Building’s HVAC system in accordance with
the recommended maintenance specifications therefor). To the extent
such maintenance and repair is required due to the act (other than ordinary
use
as contemplated by this Lease), neglect, misuse, or fault of Tenant, its
agents,
employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
the
cost of such maintenance and repairs except to the extent Tenant has been
relieved of such liability pursuant to this Lease, including, without
limitation, under Section 11.6. Except
as provided in Articles 6
and 12, there shall be no abatement of rent with respect to, and
Landlord shall not be liable for, any injury to or interference with Tenant’s
business arising from any repairs, maintenance, alteration or improvement
in or
to any portion of the Project or the Building, including the
Premises. Further, neither Landlord nor any member, manager, partner,
director, officer,
-15-
agent
or
employee of Landlord shall be liable for any damage caused by other lessees
or
persons in or about the Project, or for any consequential damages arising
out of
any loss of use of the Premises or any equipment or facilities therein by
Tenant
or any person claiming through or under Tenant. As a material
inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease, Tenant waives and releases
its
right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under Section 1942 of the
California Civil Code or under any other law, statute or ordinance now or
hereafter in effect, and Tenant waives and releases the right to terminate
this
Lease under Section 1932(1) of the California Civil Code or any similar or
successor statute. Subject to the foregoing, Landlord shall endeavor
to cause the least disruption practicable to Tenant while making repairs,
alterations or improvements to the Project. If reasonably requested
by Tenant, such activities by Landlord which materially affect the Premises
or
access thereto shall be performed outside of Normal Working Hours to the
extent
practicable.
10.
Tax
on Tenant’s Personal Property and Leasehold Improvements.
10.1
Personal
Property Taxes. At
least ten (10) days prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay all taxes levied
or
assessed upon Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures and other personal
property located in or about the Premises. If the assessed value of
Landlord’s property is increased by the inclusion therein of a value placed upon
Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures or other personal property, Tenant shall
pay Landlord, upon written demand, the taxes so levied against Landlord,
or the
proportion thereof resulting from said increase in assessment.
10.2
Tax
on Leasehold Improvements. Tenant
shall pay Landlord, upon written demand, such portion of all real estate
taxes
levied or assessed against Landlord which are attributable to the value of
the
leasehold improvements (including, but not limited to, all Tenant Improvements
and Alterations) installed in the Premises. If the assessing
authority allocates a specific value to said leasehold improvements of Tenant,
the amount payable by Tenant shall be the tax attributable to such specific
value. If the assessing authority does not allocate a specific value
to said leasehold improvements of Tenant, the amount payable by Tenant pursuant
to this Section 10.2
shall be the amount determined by multiplying the total cost of leasehold
improvements installed in the Premises by the Building’s full assessed rate, as
determined by the applicable assessing authority.
10.3
Exclusion
from Tax Expenses. The
portion of real estate taxes payable by Tenant pursuant to Sections 10.1 and
10.2
and by
other tenants of the Project as if they have similar provisions in their
leases
shall be excluded from Tax Expenses for purposes of rent adjustments described
in Article 5 of
this Lease.
11.
Insurance;
Waiver of Subrogation.
11.1
Liability
Insurance.
(a)
At all times during the Term (and prior to the commencement of the Term with
respect to any activity of Tenant hereunder at the Project), Tenant shall
procure and maintain, at its sole expense for the protection of Landlord
and
Tenant, commercial general liability insurance applying to the use and occupancy
of the Premises and the business operated by Tenant. Such insurance shall
have a
minimum combined single limit of liability of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence
and a general aggregate limit of at least $2,000,000, and Tenant shall provide,

independent contractor’s coverage, completed operations, products liability,
cross liability and severance of interest clauses, and shall be endorsed
to

members, successors, assignees, and the holders of the Underlying Mortgages
(as
defined in Section
18.1) designated by Landlord as additional insureds.
(b)
At all times during the Term (and prior to the commencement of the Term with
respect to any activity of Tenant hereunder at the Project), Tenant shall
procure and maintain, at its sole expense for the protection of Landlord
and
Tenant, primary automobile liability insurance with limits of not less than
$1,000,000 per occurrence covering owned, hired and non-owned vehicles used
by
Tenant and excess liability insurance on a following form basis with a limit
of

-16-
(c)
Prior to the sale, storage, use or giving away of alcoholic beverages on
or from
the Premises by Tenant or another person, Tenant or Tenant’s vendor, at no
expense to Landlord, shall obtain a policy or policies of insurance issued
by a
responsible insurance company and in a form acceptable to Landlord saving
harmless and protecting Landlord and the Premises against any and all damages,
claims, liens, judgments, expenses and costs, including actual attorneys’ fees,
arising under any present or future law, statute, or ordinance of the State
of
California or other governmental authority having jurisdiction of the Premises,
by reason of any storage, sale, use or giving away of alcoholic beverages
on or
from the Premises. Such policy or policies of insurance shall have a
minimum combined single limit of $3,000,000 per occurrence and shall apply
to
bodily injury, fatal or nonfatal; injury to means of support; and injury
to
property of any person. Such policy or policies of insurance shall
cover the Landlord and its agents, employees, beneficiaries, partners, managers,
members, successors, assignees and the holders of the Underlying Mortgages
designated by Landlord as additional insureds.
(d)
At all times during the Term (and prior to the commencement of the Term with
respect to any activity of Tenant hereunder at the Project), Tenant shall
procure and maintain Workers’ Compensation Insurance in accordance with the laws
of the state in which the Building is located, and employer’s liability
insurance with a primary limit of not less than $1,000,000 bodily injury
each
accident; $1,000,000 bodily injury by disease – each person; and $1,000,000
bodily injury by disease policy limit and excess liability insurance on a
following form basis with a limit of not less than $5,000,000.
(e)
If during the Term, the amount of employer’s liability insurance or commercial
general liability insurance or excess liability insurance coverage is not
commercially reasonable for similarly situated tenants in first-class office
buildings in the Santa Xxxxxx/West Los Angeles area, then promptly after
Tenant
receives written notice thereof from Landlord, Tenant shall increase the
insurance coverage to commercially reasonable amounts for similarly situated
tenants in first-class office buildings in the Santa Xxxxxx/West Los Angeles
area.
11.2
Property
Insurance. Tenant
shall at all times during the Term maintain in effect policies of insurance
covering all leasehold improvements (including, but not limited to, all Tenant
Improvements and Alterations) trade fixtures, merchandise and other personal
property from time to time in, on or upon the Premises, in an amount not
less
than one hundred percent (100%) of their full replacement cost from time
to time
during the Term, providing protection against any peril included within the
classification “all risk coverage” or “causes of loss – special form” together
with insurance against sprinkler water damage (including earthquake caused
sprinkler damage), vandalism and malicious mischief. Such property
insurance shall provide equivalent or greater coverage than that provided
by ISO
Form CP 10 30. The proceeds of such insurance, so long as this Lease
remains in effect, shall be used for the repair or replacement of the property
so insured. Upon termination of this Lease due to any casualty, the
proceeds of insurance shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant, as their interests
appear in the insured property. The full replacement value of the
items to be insured under this Section 11.2
shall be determined by Tenant and acknowledged by the company issuing the
insurance policy by the issuance of an agreed amount endorsement at the time
the
policy is initially obtained, and shall be increased from time to time in
order
to maintain replacement value coverage.
11.3
Business
Interruption. Tenant
shall at all times during the Term, and at its own cost and expense, procure
and
maintain in effect loss of income or business interruption insurance and
extra
expense insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct and
indirect loss of earnings and extra expenses attributable to all perils commonly
insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access
to
the Premises or to the Building as a result of such perils.
11.4
Policy
Requirements.
(a)
All insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder shall be issued
by
responsible insurance companies, authorized to do business in the State of
California and reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Insurance companies rated
A
VII or better by Best’s Insurance Reports shall be deemed
acceptable.
(b)
Each policy shall be written on an “occurrence” basis and shall have a
deductible or deductibles, if any, which do not exceed the deductible amount(s)
maintained by similarly situated tenants in first-class office buildings
in the
Santa Xxxxxx/West Los Angeles area. Each policy shall cover Landlord,
Landlord’s
-17-
Project
manager and Landlord’s lender as additional insureds, as their interests may
appear, and copies of all policies and endorsements thereto together with
certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance and further
evidencing that such insurance is in full force and effect, shall be delivered
to Landlord by Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior to Tenant’s occupancy of
any portion of the Premises, and in any event, prior to any activity of Tenant
hereunder at the Project. No such policy shall be cancelable except
after thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy, furnish
Landlord with renewals or “binders” thereof. Should Tenant at any
time neglect or refuse to provide the insurance required by this Lease, or
should such insurance be canceled, Landlord shall have the right, but not
the
duty, to procure the same and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof as Additional
Rent promptly upon Landlord’s demand.
(c)
The policies of insurance required to be carried by Tenant shall be primary
and
non-contributing with, and not in excess of any other insurance available
to
Landlord. The cost of defending any claims made against any of the policies
required to be carried by Tenant shall not be included in any of the limits
of
liability for such policies. Tenant shall immediately report to Landlord,
and
promptly thereafter confirm in writing, the occurrence of any injury, loss
or
damage incurred by Tenant, or Tenant’s receipt of notice or knowledge of any
claim by a third party or any occurrence that might give rise to such
claims. It shall be the responsibility of Tenant not to violate nor
knowingly permit to be violated any condition of the policies required by
this
Lease.
(d)
If any of the liability insurance policies required to be maintained by Tenant
pursuant to this Article 11 contains
aggregate limits which apply to operations of Tenant other than those operations
which are the subject of this Lease, Tenant’s general aggregate shall apply
separately per location. Any policy of property insurance required hereunder
may
be in “blanket coverage” form, provided any such “blanket coverage” policy (i)
specifically provides that the amount of insurance coverage required hereunder
shall in no way be prejudiced by other losses covered by the policy or (ii)
is
in an amount not less than the sum of one hundred percent (100%) of the actual
replacement costs of all of the properties covered under such “blanket coverage”
insurance policy. Neither the issuance of any such property insurance
policy nor the minimum limits specified in this Section 11.4 shall
be
deemed to limit or restrict in any way Tenant’s liability arising under or out
of this Lease.
11.5
Landlord’s
Requirements. Landlord
shall, at all times during the Term hereof, at its sole cost and expense
(subject to reimbursement in accordance with Article 5)
procure and maintain in force insurance of the type commonly referred to
as an
“all risk of physical loss” policy, including earthquake insurance to the extent
required by any Underlying Mortgage (as defined in Section 18.1) or
deemed commercially practicable by Landlord, and general public liability
insurance insuring the Land, the Building and the Project against all risks
and
all other hazards as are customarily insured against, in Landlord’s reasonable
judgment, by others similarly situated and operating like
properties. Landlord shall procure and maintain in force (subject to
reimbursement in accordance with Article 5) a
commercially reasonable amount (or an amount as required by any Underlying
Mortgage) of rental loss insurance during the Term of this Lease.
11.6
Waiver
of
Subrogation. Landlord
and Tenant each hereby releases the other, and waives its entire right of
recovery against the other for any direct or consequential loss or damage
arising out of or incident to the perils covered by the property insurance
policy or policies carried by the waiving party, whether or not such damage
or
loss may be attributable to the negligence of either party or their agents,
invitees, contractors, or employees. Each insurance policy carried by
either Landlord or Tenant in accordance with this Lease shall include a waiver
of the insurer’s rights of subrogation to the extent necessary.
12.
Damage
or
Destruction.
12.1
Agreement
Governs. The
provisions of this Lease, including this Article 12,
constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect
to any
and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, the
Building or any other portion of the Project by fire or other casualty (“Damage”) and no statute
or
regulation which is inconsistent with this Article 12, now or
hereafter in effect, including without limitation, Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4)
of the California Civil Code, shall have any application to this Lease with
respect to any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises,
the
Building or any other portion of the Project. This Article 12 shall
not
affect the provisions of Article 16 below,
subject to Section
11.6.
-18-
12.2
Obligation
to Repair. If
the Premises, access thereto within the Project or Building Systems serving
the
Premises suffer Damage, subject to all other terms of this Article 12, Landlord
shall diligently repair the Base Building Improvements (as defined in Exhibit “D”) in a
manner consistent with the provisions of any Underlying Mortgage and subject
to
reasonable delays for insurance adjustment and other matters beyond Landlord’s
reasonable control (other than lack of funds). Upon any Damage to the
Premises, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or Landlord’s designee) all insurance
proceeds (other than for personal property or interruption of business) payable
to Tenant under insurance required pursuant to Section 11.2, and
Landlord shall repair the Tenant Improvements and Alterations installed in
the
Premises pursuant to plans therefor developed in consultation with Tenant;
provided that if the cost of repair of the Tenant Improvements and Alterations
by Landlord exceeds the insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s
insurance carrier, such shortfall shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior
to
Landlord’s repair of the Damage, or Tenant may elect to revise the design of
such Tenant Improvements and Alterations to reduce their cost to a level
that
can be repaired and restored by available insurance proceeds, provided such
design revisions shall not delay the repairs. To the extent
reasonably practicable, Landlord shall solicit bids for the repair of the
Tenant
Improvements and Alterations and shall select the low bidder after the bids
are
reconciled for inconsistent assumptions. Bidding shall not be
required for minor repairs nor for emergency work performed immediately after
the damage occurs. To the extent reasonably possible, as determined
by Landlord, Landlord shall utilize the same contractors for specialized
work on
Tenant Improvements and Alterations that were used for the initial construction
and installation of such specialized work. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Damage affects only Tenant Improvements and Alterations,
Tenant shall have the option to conduct the repair thereof instead of Landlord,
such option to be exercised within ten (10) days after the occurrence of
the
Damage; and if such election is made by Tenant, (a) the insurance proceeds
for
such repair shall be made available to Tenant, (b) notwithstanding any provision
of this Lease to the contrary, rent for the Premises shall not xxxxx for
any
period in excess of the time Landlord reasonably would have taken to repair
and
restore the Premises, and (c) the provisions of Paragraph 12.3(c)
below shall not apply with respect to such repairs conducted by
Tenant. Upon termination of this Lease due to any Damage, the
proceeds of insurance shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant as their interests
appear in the insured property, and in accordance with Section 11.2
above. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of business,
inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant arising from any Damage or any repair
or
restoration of any portion of the Premises, the Building or other portion
of the
Project as a result of any Damage.
12.3
Major
Damage to Premises.
(a)
If the Premises, any material portion thereof, access thereto within the
Project
or Building Systems serving the Premises suffer Damage so that the Premises
are
rendered unusable by Tenant for its business purposes and are not used by
Tenant, and the repair thereof cannot in the reasonable opinion of Landlord
be
completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date Landlord is
informed of the Damage (without payment of overtime or other premium) or
if
insurance proceeds available for Tenant Improvements and Alterations plus
any
amount Tenant elects to contribute to repair of the Tenant Improvements and
Alterations will not be sufficient to cover the cost of repairs, then Landlord
shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to Tenant within
thirty
(30) days after the date Landlord is informed of the Damage, either: (a)
to
terminate this Lease as of the date not less than thirty (30) days nor more
than
sixty (60) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant (although rent shall be abated
until such termination in the manner and to the extent provided in Article 6); or (b)
to
repair the Damage in accordance with Section 12.2, in
which event this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and rent
shall
be abated in the manner and to the extent provided in Article
6. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (the “Repair Notice”) stating
the
estimated length of time that will be required to repair the Damage as soon
as
reasonably possible after such Damage, but in no event later than thirty
(30)
days following the date Landlord is informed of the Damage.
(b)
If the Premises, any material portion thereof, access thereto within the
Project
or Building Systems serving the Premises suffer Damage so that the Premises
are
rendered unusable by Tenant for its business purposes and are not used by
Tenant, and the repair thereof cannot in the reasonable opinion of Landlord
be
completed within two hundred seventy (270) days after the date Landlord is
informed of the Damage (without payment of overtime or other premium), Tenant
shall have the option to terminate this Lease (“Tenant’s Termination
Option”). Tenant shall have thirty (30) days from Tenant’s
receipt of the Repair Notice to exercise Tenant’s Termination Option by written
notice to Landlord. If Tenant exercises Tenant’s Termination Option,
the Lease shall terminate as of a date not less than thirty (30) days nor
more
than sixty (60) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the exercise of
Tenant’s Termination Option.
-19-
(c)
If the Premises, any material portion thereof, access thereto within the
Project
or Building Systems serving the Premises suffer Damage so that the Premises
are
rendered unusable by Tenant for its business purposes and are not used by
Tenant, and if the Lease does not terminate pursuant to Paragraph 12.3(a) or
Paragraph
12.3(b), then if Landlord fails to substantially complete the repair of
such Damage on or before the date (the “Outside Completion Date”)
which is the later of (i) two hundred seventy (270) days after the date Landlord
is informed of the Damage and (ii) the date which is six (6) months after
the
date estimated for completion of such repair set forth in the Repair Notice
required under Paragraph 12.3(a)
above, and if the Damage not repaired on the Outside Completion Date renders
a
substantial part of the Premises unusable by Tenant for its business purposes
and are not used by Tenant, Tenant shall have the option, exercisable by
written
notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Outside Completion Date,
to
terminate this Lease effective thirty (30) days after the date of such
notice. The Outside Completion Date shall be extended by delays in
the completion of the repair of the Damage caused by force majeure events
(other than the casualty that caused the Damage and such extension not to
exceed
six (6) months) or by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors.
12.4
Major
Damage to Building or Project. Without
limiting the provisions of Sections 12.2
and
12.3, if the Building or the Project suffers major and material Damage
which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, cannot be repaired within two hundred
seventy (270) days after the date Landlord is informed of the Damage (without
payment of overtime or other premium), or if the Building, the Project or
the
Parking Area is so extensively damaged as to render it economically inviable
for
its existing use, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, after the repair thereof, or
if insurance proceeds will not be sufficient to cover the cost of repairs
(provided such shortfall of insurance proceeds is at least Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000)), then Landlord shall have the option, to be exercised by written
notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord is informed
of
the Damage, either: (a) to terminate this Lease as of the date no less than
thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant
and rent shall be abated in the manner and to the extent set forth in Article 6; or
(b) subject to Section 12.2, to
repair and rebuild the Building with reasonable diligence, in which event
this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect and rent shall be abated in
the
manner and to the extent provided in Article
6.
12.5
Reinstatement;
Good Faith Exercise.
(a)
If Landlord elects to exercise its option to terminate under Section 12.4, based
on the insufficiency of insurance proceeds from insurance maintained by Landlord
hereunder to cover the cost of repairs to the Base Building Improvements,
then,
as a covenant surviving the termination of this Lease, Landlord shall not
commence the reconstruction of the Base Building Improvements within twelve
(12)
months after the date of the Damage without giving Tenant the right to reinstate
the terms of this Lease, with Landlord paying all of the shortfall in insurance
proceeds for the cost of such repairs and reconstruction. Tenant’s
option under this Section 12.5 shall
be
exercisable within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant that
Landlord intends to fund such insurance proceeds shortfall and commence
reconstruction of the Base Building Improvements.
(b)
Landlord shall not exercise any termination right under Section 12.4 solely
in order to obtain an increase in the rental rate for the Premises; provided
that any other independent, bona fide, good faith business reason for exercise
of such termination right shall be sufficient if such right is otherwise
exercised in accordance with the other provisions of this Article
12.
13.
Eminent
Domain.
13.1
Taking. In
case the whole of the Premises, or such part thereof as shall substantially
interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, shall be taken by any lawful
power or authority by exercise of the right of eminent domain, or sold to
prevent such taking, within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice of such
taking, either Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of
the
date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority. If
such portion of the Building or Project is so taken or sold so as to require,
in
the opinion of Landlord, a substantial alteration or reconstruction of the
remaining portions thereof, or which renders the Building or Project
economically inviable for its use as presently intended, or requires
cancellation of substantially all tenant leases in the Building, this Lease
may
be terminated by Landlord, as of the date of the vesting of title under such
taking or sale, by written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days following
notice to Landlord of the date on which said vesting will
occur. Except as provided herein, Tenant shall not because of such
taking assert any claim against Landlord or the taking authority for any
compensation because of such taking, and Landlord shall be entitled to
-20-
receive
the entire amount of any award without deduction for any estate or interest
of
Tenant. If the amount of property or the type of estate taken shall
not substantially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, Landlord shall be
entitled to the entire amount of the award without deduction for any estate
or
interest of Tenant. In such event, Landlord shall promptly proceed to
restore the Premises to substantially their condition prior to such partial
taking, and the rent shall be abated in proportion to the time during which,
and
to the part of the Premises of which, Tenant shall be so deprived on account
of
such taking and restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during
any rent abatement under this Lease, Tenant shall continue to be obligated
to
pay Landlord Additional Rent for all services and utilities provided to and
used
by Tenant during the period of the rent abatement. Nothing contained
in this Article 13 shall
be deemed to give Landlord any interest in, or prevent Tenant from seeking
any
award against the taking authority for, the taking of personal property and
fixtures belonging to Tenant or for relocation or business interruption expenses
recoverable from the taking authority.
13.2
Temporary
Taking. If
all or any portion of the Premises are condemned or otherwise taken for public
or quasi-public use for a limited period of time, this Lease shall remain
in
full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to perform all of the terms,
conditions and covenants of this Lease, including without limitation, the
payment of Basic Rent and all other amounts required
hereunder. Tenant shall be entitled to receive the entire award made
in connection with any other temporary condemnation or other taking attributable
to any period within the Term. Landlord shall be entitled to the
entire award for any such temporary condemnation or other taking which relates
to a period after the expiration of the Term or which is allocable to the
cost
of restoration of the Premises. If any such temporary condemnation or
other taking terminates prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall
restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the condition prior to the
condemnation or other taking, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; provided that,
Tenant shall receive the portion of the award attributable to such
restoration.
14.
Assignment
and Subletting.
14.1
Limitation.
(a)
Tenant shall not directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily assign,
mortgage or otherwise encumber all or any portion of its interest in this
Lease
or in the Premises (collectively, “Assignment”) or permit the
Premises to be occupied by anyone other than Tenant or Tenant’s employees or
sublet the Premises (collectively, “Sublease”) or any portion
thereof without obtaining the prior consent of Landlord, which, subject to
Sections 14.3 and
14.4,
may be
withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and any such attempted Assignment
or Sublease (collectively, “Transfer”) without such
consent shall be null and void and of no effect.
(b)
Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraph 14.1(a),
Tenant shall have the right, after notice thereof to Landlord in accordance
with
Section 14.4, to
Transfer all or a portion of the Premises, or the leasehold hereunder, to
an
Affiliate (or a combination of Affiliates) or Successor of
Tenant. For purposes hereof, an “Affiliate” or “Successor”
of
Tenant is an
entity controlling, under common control with or controlled by Tenant, including
an entity resulting from a merger or consolidation by Tenant, but excluding,
in
each case, any entity formed to avoid the restrictions on Transfer by Tenant
hereunder and excluding any agency or department of the United States
Government. For purposes of this definition, the word “control,” as used above, means
with respect to a Person that is a corporation, the right to exercise, directly
or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting rights attributable
to the shares of the controlled corporation and, with respect to a Person
that
is not a corporation, the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power
to
direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of the controlled
Person. The word “Person” means an individual,
partnership, trust, corporation, firm or other entity. Any such
Affiliate or Successor of Tenant must expressly assume in writing a pro rata
share of Tenant’s obligations hereunder in the proportion that the number of
square feet of Rentable Area of the Premises subleased or assigned to such
Affiliate or Successor of Tenant bears to the total number of square feet
of
Rentable Area in the Premises, without relieving Tenant of any liability
hereunder. Sections 14.2,
14.3,
14.4 (other than providing Landlord written notice of the proposed
Transfer by Tenant as described therein) and 14.5 shall
not be
applicable to Transfers covered by this Paragraph
14.1(b).
14.2
Notice
of
Intent to Assign or Sublet. If
Tenant desires at any time to enter into a Transfer that will result in Tenant
and its Affiliates and/or Successor occupying less than seventy-five
percent (75%) of the Rentable Area in the Premises (including any expansion
of
the Premises pursuant to the Lease) or if Tenant desires at any time to enter
into a Transfer at such time that Tenant and its Affiliates and/or Successor
already occupy less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Rentable
Area in the Premises (including any expansion of the Premises pursuant to
the
Lease), Tenant shall first give Landlord a notice (the “First Transfer Notice”)
specifying: (a) the size and location of the space Tenant proposes to
Transfer (the “Transfer
Space”); (b) the term for which Tenant proposes to Transfer the
Transfer Space; and (c) the date on which Tenant proposes that the Transfer
be
effective, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the Transfer
Notice.
-21-
14.3
Landlord’s
Options. At
any time within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of all of the
information required in the First Transfer Notice, Landlord may by written
notice to Tenant elect to:
(a)
terminate the Lease in the case of a proposed Assignment, or
(b)
in the case of a proposed Sublease, terminate this Lease as to the Transfer
Space specified in the First Transfer Notice for the term of the proposed
Sublease only, with a proportionate abatement in the rent payable
hereunder.
In
the
event Landlord elects to terminate the Lease as to the Transfer Space, the
Lease
shall terminate as to the entire Transfer Space on the proposed date that
the
Transfer would be effective as specified in the First Transfer
Notice (but such termination shall only be effective for the lease
term of the proposed Transfer if a Sublease). After any such election
by Landlord, Landlord shall be entitled to re-lease the Transfer Space in
Landlord’s discretion. In the event Landlord elects the option set
forth in Paragraph
(b) above with respect to a portion of the Premises, (i) Tenant shall
at
all times provide reasonable and appropriate access to the Transfer Space
and
use of any common facilities in the Premises, (ii) Landlord shall have the
right
to use the Transfer Space subject to Landlord’s election without the consent of
Tenant, and (iii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost
of any
demising wall necessary to separate the Transfer Space from the remainder
of the
Premises. If Tenant does not within one hundred eighty (180) days
after the First Transfer Notice consummate a Transfer for the Transfer Space
or
is not in active negotiations concerning the Transfer Space and, if Tenant
continues to contemplate a Transfer, Tenant shall deliver a new Transfer
Notice
and Landlord shall again have the options set forth in this Section 14.3.
14.4
Second
Notice; Conditions for Landlord’s Consent.
(a)
If Landlord does not elect or is not entitled to elect any of the options
set
forth in Section
14.3 and Tenant desires to consummate a Transfer, Tenant shall give a
second written notice (the “Second Transfer Notice”) to
Landlord with respect to such Transfer and which notice shall specify
(1) the Transfer Space, (2) the name of the proposed assignee,
subtenant, transferee or occupant (“Transferee”), (3) the
nature of the proposed Transferee’s business to be carried on in the Transfer
Space, (4) the terms and provisions of the proposed Transfer, and
(5) such financial information as Landlord may reasonably request
concerning the proposed Transferee. If the Transfer described in the
Second Transfer Notice differs by more than twenty percent (20%) from the
First
Transfer Notice in amount of space covered or in length of term, or materially
differs as to the location of the Transfer Space, then Landlord shall have
the
options set forth in Section 14.3 with
respect to the Transfer proposed in the Second Transfer Notice, such options
to
be exercised within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the
Second Transfer Notice.
(b)
If Landlord does not elect either of the options set forth Section 14.3,
and does not elect or is not entitled to elect any such option pursuant to
Paragraph (a)
above, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent
to the Transfer specified in the Second Transfer Notice and Landlord shall
have
ten (10) business days following receipt of Tenant’s Second Transfer Notice to
approve or disapprove in writing the Transfer set forth in the Second Transfer
Notice; provided, however, that Landlord’s refusal to consent to any Transfer
shall be deemed reasonable if:
(1)
The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which
is
not, in the good faith determination of Landlord, consistent with the quality
of
the Building or the Project;
(2)
The Transferee intends to use the Transfer Space for purposes which are not
permitted under this Lease;
-22-
(3)
The Transferee intends to use the Transfer Space for purposes in violation
of
the terms of any other lease in the Project, it being understood that the
purpose for which any Transferee intends to use the Transfer Space may not
be in
violation of this Lease (within five (5) days after Tenant’s request from time
to time, Landlord shall inform Tenant of any restrictions that may apply
at the
time of such request, and such restrictions may not restrict the permitted
use
to which Tenant is then currently dedicating the Premises);
(4)
The Transferee has been involved in bona fide negotiations with Landlord
for
space in the Lantana Campus within the preceding six (6) months;
(5)
The Transfer occurs prior to the earlier of (i) the third (3rd)
anniversary of the Commencement Date, or (ii) the first date on which Landlord
has leased at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area in the
Lantana Campus;
(6)
The Transfer Space is not suitable for normal renting purposes in conformity
with all applicable building and safety codes;
(7)
The Transferee is either a government (or subdivision or agency
thereof);
(8)
The Transferee is an occupant of the Project or other space in the Lantana
Campus (if Landlord or its Affiliates then have space available in the Project
to accommodate such tenant’s space requirements); or
(9)
The Transferee is, in the good faith judgment of Landlord, insolvent or does
not
have the financial capacity to perform the obligations to be assumed for
the
term of the Transfer.
(c)
If Landlord consents to any Transfer under this Section 14.4,
Tenant may thereafter within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s consent, but not
later than the expiration of said ninety (90) days, enter into such Transfer
of
the Transfer Space, upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in
the
Second Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 14.4(a).
(d)
As a condition to Landlord’s consent to any Sublease, such Sublease shall
provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to all Underlying
Mortgages; that Landlord may enforce the provisions of the Sublease, including
collection of rent; that the cost of any modification to the Premises, Building
and/or Project arising from or as a result of the Sublease shall be the sole
responsibility of Tenant; that in the event of termination of this Lease
for any
reason, including without limitation a voluntary surrender by Tenant, or
in the
event of any reentry or repossession of the Premises by Landlord, Landlord
may,
at its option, either (i) terminate the Sublease or (ii) take over all
of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such Sublease,
in which case the Transferee shall attorn to Landlord, but that nevertheless
Landlord shall not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant
under such Sublease, (2) be subject to any defense or offset previously
accrued in favor of the Transferee against Tenant, or (3) be bound by any
previous modification of any Sublease made without Landlord’s written consent,
or by any previous prepayment by the Transferee of more than one month’s
rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if
Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld
or delayed its consent under this Section or otherwise has breached or acted
unreasonably under this Article 14,
their sole remedies shall be declaratory judgment and an injunction for the
relief sought without any monetary damages, and Tenant hereby waives all
other
remedies on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable
laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.
14.5
Profits.
(a)
If there are any Profits (as defined in Paragraph 14.5(b)
below) from any Transfer, Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of such Profits
to Landlord
as Additional Rent. Landlord’s share of Profits shall be paid to
Landlord within five (5) business days after receipt thereof by
Tenant. The payments of Profits to Landlord shall be made on a
monthly basis as Additional Rent with respect to each Transfer separately,
subject to an annual reconciliation on each anniversary date of the
Transfer. If the payments to Landlord under this Section during
the twelve (12) months preceding each annual reconciliation exceed the amount
of
Profits determined on an annual basis, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant
the
amount of such overpayment or credit the overpayment against Tenant’s future
obligations under this Section, at Tenant’s option. If Tenant has
underpaid its obligations hereunder during the preceding twelve (12) months,
Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the amount owing after the annual
reconciliation.
-23-
For
purposes of this Article 14,
“Profits”
are
defined as
all cash or cash equivalent amounts and sums which Tenant (including any
Affiliate or Successor of Tenant or other entity related to Tenant) receives
on
an annual basis from any Transferee, directly or indirectly, in consideration
for the occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof, less Basic Rent
and
Additional Rent pursuant to Article 5 of the
Lease paid during each such annual period by Tenant attributable pro rata
based
on Rentable Area of the Transfer Space after Tenant first recovers from such
amounts paid by the Transferee the sum of all out of pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Tenant in connection with the Transfer to such Transferee, including
(i) any additional tenant improvement costs paid to Tenant’s Transferee by
Tenant; (ii) reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant in connection
with
the Transfer; (iii) other economic concessions (planning allowance, lease
takeover payments, moving expenses, etc.) paid by Tenant to or on behalf
of the
Transferee in connection with the Transfer; (iv) reasonable costs incurred
by Tenant in advertising the Transfer Space; and (v) Tenant’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees paid by Tenant in connection with the Transfer. Any
lump sum payment received by Tenant from a Transferee shall be treated like
any
other amount so received by Tenant for the applicable annual period and,
if
given in consideration for occupancy of the Premises, shall be utilized in
computing Profits in accordance with the foregoing. All Profits and
the components thereof shall be subject to audit by Landlord or its
representatives at reasonable times. Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord, upon request, any information reasonably required by Landlord to
calculate and/or substantiate the amount of Profits hereunder.
14.6
No
Release of Tenant’s Obligations. No
Transfer shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the rent and to perform
all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The
acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed
to be a
waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any
Transfer. Consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to constitute
consent to any subsequent Transfer.
14.7
Transfer
is Assignment. If
Tenant is a corporation which under the then current guidelines published
by the
Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California is not deemed a public
corporation, or is an unincorporated association or partnership, the transfer,
assignment or hypothecation of any stock or interest in such corporation,
association or partnership in the aggregate in excess of twenty-five percent
(25%) shall be deemed an Assignment hereunder.
14.8
Assumption
of Obligations. Each
Transferee, other than Landlord, shall assume, as provided in this Section 14.8,
all obligations of Tenant under this Lease and shall be and remain liable
jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of the rent, and for the
performance of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein
contained on Tenant’s part to be performed for the term of this Lease; provided,
however, that the Transferee shall be liable to Landlord for rent only in
the
amount set forth in the Transfer. No Assignment shall be binding on
Landlord unless the Transferee or Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a counterpart
of the Assignment and an instrument in recordable form which contains a covenant
of assumption by the Transferee satisfactory in substance and form to Landlord
consistent with the requirements of this Section 14.8,
but the failure or refusal of the Transferee to execute such instrument of
assumption shall not release or discharge the Transferee from its liability
as
set forth above.
14.9
Costs. Tenant
agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees
incurred in connection with the processing and documentation of any requested
Transfer whether or not Landlord consents to the Transfer or the same is
finally
consummated.

15.
Project
Coordination.
15.1
Right
of
Entry. Landlord
and its agents and representatives shall have the right, at all reasonable
times, but in such manner as to cause as little disturbance to Tenant as
reasonably practicable, to enter the Premises for purposes of inspection,
to
post notices of non-responsibility, to protect the interest of Landlord
in the
Premises, to supply janitorial service and any other services to be provided
by
Landlord hereunder, to perform all required or permitted
work therein, including the erection of scaffolding, props and other mechanical
devices for the purpose of making alterations, repairs or additions to
the
Premises or the Building which are provided for in this Lease or required
by
law. Locks to the Premises, including interior areas, shall be keyed
consistent with the keying system for the Building. Landlord and its
agents and representatives shall also have the right, at all reasonable
times,
to show the Premises to prospective tenants (during the last two (2) years
of
this Lease), lessors of superior leases, mortgagees, prospective mortgagees
or
prospective purchasers of the Building. No such entry shall be
construed under any circumstances as a forcible or unlawful entry into,
or a
detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant, and Tenant hereby
waives
any claim against Landlord or its agents or representatives for damages
for any
injury or inconvenience to or interference with, Tenant’s business or quiet
enjoyment of the Premises.
15.2
Building
and Common Areas. Provided
Landlord does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use, Landlord
may: (a) install, repair, replace or relocate pipes, ducts,
conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment for service to other
parts
of the Building above the ceiling surfaces, below the floor surfaces, within
the
walls and in the central core areas of the Premises or the rest of the Building;
(b) repair, renovate, alter, expand or improve the Project; (c) make
changes to the common areas, including, without limitation, changes in the
location, size, shape and number of street entrances, driveways, ramps,
entrances, exits, parking spaces, parking areas, loading and unloading areas,
halls, passages, stairways and other means of ingress and egress, direction
of
traffic, landscaped areas and walkways; (d) close temporarily any of the
common areas for maintenance purposes as long as reasonable access to the
Premises remains available; (e) designate other land outside the boundaries
of the Building to be a part of the common areas; (f) add additional
buildings and improvements to the common areas; (g) use the common areas
while engaged in making additional improvements, repairs or alterations to
the
Building, or any portion thereof; and (h) do and perform such other acts
and make such other changes in, to or with respect to the common areas and
Building and other portions of the Project as Landlord may deem
appropriate.
15.3
Balconies. Balconies,
if any, adjacent to and accessible from the Premises shall be common areas
and
shall not be a part of the Rentable Area of the Premises; provided, however,
that Tenant shall have an exclusive license (with other tenants whose premises
are adjacent to and accessible from such balconies) to use any such balconies
in
a manner consistent with a first-class office complex containing balconies,
on
the terms and conditions set forth herein and subject to all limitations
and
restrictions on use of the Premises in the Lease. Tenant shall not
make any improvements to the balconies. Tenant shall seek Landlord’s
advance written consent to all proposed furniture, fixtures, plants or other
items of any kind whatsoever which Tenant desires to affix or to place on
the
balconies. Landlord may withhold its consent to Tenant’s proposed
furniture, fixtures, plants or other items in Landlord’s sole discretion,
including without limitation, on wholly aesthetic grounds (e.g., as to
size,
color or design). Tenant shall not be permitted to display any
graphics, signs or insignias or the like on the balconies. Landlord
shall have the right to make any improvements to the balconies or display
any
graphics, plants or other items from the balconies that it desires in its
sole
discretion in connection with overall Project graphics or
improvements. Tenant shall permit Landlord access to the balconies at
reasonable times, including during Normal Working Hours, for cleaning, general
maintenance and plant maintenance. Tenant’s exclusive license to use
the balconies shall be revocable, at Landlord’s option, upon any Event of
Default.
15.4
Name. Landlord
may adopt any name for the Building and/or the Project and Landlord reserves
the
right to change the name and/or the address of the Building and/or the Project
or any part thereof at any time.
-25-
16.
Indemnification
and Waiver.
16.1
Indemnity
by Tenant. Tenant
shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless, Landlord, its officers,
directors, partners, agents, attorneys and employees, and any affiliate
of
Landlord, including without limitation, any corporations or any other entities
controlling, controlled by or under common control with Landlord (collectively,
“Landlord Indemnified
Parties”), from and against any and all claims, suits, demands,
liability, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs
(collectively, “Indemnified
Claims”) (but excluding injury to or interference with Landlord’s or any
Landlord Indemnified Parties’ business and any consequential damages), arising
from or in connection with Tenant’s use or alteration of the Premises or the
conduct of its business or from any activity performed or permitted by
Tenant in
or about the Premises, the Building or any part of the Project during the
Term
or prior to the Commencement Date if Tenant has been provided access to
the
Premises, the Building or any part of the Project for any purpose, or arising
from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part
to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from Tenant’s
use of the Building Services in excess of their capacity or arising from
any
other act, neglect, fault or omission of Tenant or any of its officers,
agents,
directors, contractors, employees, subtenants, assignees, licensees or
invitees. If any action or proceeding is brought against any of the
Landlord Indemnified Parties in connection with any Indemnified Claims,
Tenant,
upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant’s expense with
counsel approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 16.1
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
16.2
Waiver. As
a material part of the consideration to the Landlord for entering into this
Lease, Tenant hereby assumes all risk of and releases, discharges and holds
harmless Landlord from and against any and all liability to Tenant for damage
to
property or injury to persons in, upon or about the Premises from any cause
whatsoever except that which is caused by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord. In no event shall Landlord be liable to
Tenant for any injury to any person in or about the Premises or damage to
the
Premises or for any loss, damage or injury to any property of Tenant therein
or
by any malfunction of any utility or other equipment, installation or system,
or
by the rupture, leakage or overflow of any plumbing or other pipes, including
without limitation, water, steam and refrigeration lines, sprinklers, tanks,
drains, drinking fountains or similar cause in, about or upon the Premises,
the
Building or any other portion of the Project unless such loss, damage or
injury
is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord.
16.3
Indemnity
of Tenant. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections 16.1
and 16.2 to the
contrary, but subject to the limitation on Landlord’s liability set forth in
Section 31.17
and subject to Section 11.6,
Landlord shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Tenant and its
officers, directors, partners, agents, shareholders, attorneys, employees
and
any affiliate of Tenant, including without limitation, any corporations or
any
other entities Controlling, Controlled by or under common Control with Tenant
and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Tenant Indemnified Parties”),
from and against any Indemnified Claims (but excluding injury to or interference
with Tenant’s or any Tenant Indemnified Parties’ business and any consequential
damages), to the extent arising or resulting from (i) the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, or any of its agents, contractors or employees; and/or
(ii) the default in the performance by Landlord of any obligations on Landlord’s
part to be performed under the terms of this Lease; provided, however, that
Landlord’s indemnity shall not apply or extend to any Indemnified Claims which
are covered by any insurance maintained by Tenant or any Tenant Indemnified
Parties (or which would have been covered had Tenant obtained the insurance
required under the provisions of this Lease), but Landlord’s indemnity shall
apply to Tenant’s insurance deductibles paid by Tenant in connection with the
Indemnified Claims. If any action or proceeding is brought against
Tenant or any other Tenant Indemnified Parties by reason of any such Indemnified
Claims indemnified by Landlord as set forth hereinabove, Landlord, upon notice
from Tenant, shall defend the same at Landlord’s expense with counsel approved
by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 16.3
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
17.
Definition
of Landlord.
The
term
“Landlord” as used in
this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations on the part of Landlord are
concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners,
at the
time in question, of the fee title of the Premises or the lessees under ground
leases of the Land or master leases of the Building, if any. In the
event of any transfer, assignment or other conveyance of any such title,
Landlord herein named (and in case of any subsequent transfer or conveyance,
the
then grantor) shall be automatically freed and relieved from and after the
date
of such transfer, assignment or conveyance of all liability for the performance
of any covenant or obligation on the part of Landlord contained in this Lease
thereafter to be performed, so long as such transferee assumes in writing
such
future obligations of Landlord under this Lease. Without further
agreement, the transferee of such title shall be deemed to have assumed and
agreed to observe and perform any and all obligations of Landlord hereunder,
during its ownership of the Premises. Landlord may transfer its
interest in the Premises without the consent of Tenant and such transfer
or
subsequent transfer shall not be deemed a violation on Landlord’s part of any
term or condition of this Lease.
-26-
18.
Subordination.
18.1
Subordination. This
Lease is subject and subordinate to all mortgages, trust deeds, and ground
and
underlying leases (the “Underlying Mortgages”) which
now exist or may hereafter be executed affecting the Building
and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions
of any such Underlying Mortgages. This clause shall be self-operative
and no further instrument of subordination need be required by any mortgagee,
ground lessor or beneficiary, affecting any Underlying Mortgage in order
to make
such subordination effective. Tenant, however, shall execute promptly
any certificate or document that Landlord may request to effectuate, evidence
or
confirm such subordination, and failure to do so shall be an Event of Default
under this Lease if such failure continues for ten (10) days after a second
notice from Landlord following the expiration of the first 10 day
period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to provide to
Tenant within sixty (60) days after the mutual execution and delivery of
this
Lease, a non-disturbance agreement (“Non-Disturbance Agreement”)
from each holder of an existing Underlying Mortgage (individually and
collectively, a “Mortgagee”) whose encumbrance
or lien affecting the Building is at such time superior to the leasehold
estate
created hereby. The final form of any such Non-Disturbance Agreement
shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “F” or in
a
commercially reasonable form reasonably agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant
and
provided by the holder of each Underlying Mortgage who is required to provide
a
Non-Disturbance Agreement, and which, at a minimum, shall contain, in substance,
those provisions set forth in Exhibit “F”
attached hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, with respect to any Underlying Mortgage hereafter executed affecting
the
Building, this Lease shall be subordinated thereto only if the Mortgagee
enters
into a commercially reasonable form of subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement reasonably approved by Landlord, Tenant and such Mortgagee
and which, at a minimum, shall contain, in substance, those provisions
set forth
in Exhibit “F
” attached
hereto.
18.2
Attornment. If
Landlord’s interest in the Building is sold or conveyed upon the exercise of any
remedy provided for in any Underlying Mortgage, or otherwise by operation
of
law: (a) at the election of the new owner, Tenant will attorn to
and recognize the new owner as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease, and upon
request, Tenant shall enter into a new lease, containing all of the terms
and
provisions of this Lease, with such new owner for the remaining term hereof,
or,
at the election of such new owner, this Lease shall automatically become
a new
lease between Tenant and such new owner, upon the terms and provisions hereof
for the remaining term hereof, and Tenant will confirm such attornment and
new
lease in writing within fifteen (15) days after request (Tenant’s failure to do
so will constitute an Event of Default if such failure continues for ten
(10)
days after a second notice from such new owner following the expiration of
the
first 15 day period); and (b) the new owner shall not be (i) liable
for any act or omission of Landlord under this Lease occurring prior to such
sale or conveyance (without limiting the new owner’s obligations to make repairs
to the Building required under this Lease even though such repairs were left
undone by the prior Landlord), or (ii) subject to any offset, abatement or
reduction of rent because of any default of Landlord under this Lease occurring
prior to such sale or conveyance.
18.3
Notice
from Tenant. Tenant
shall give written notice to the holder of any Underlying Mortgage whose
name
and address have been previously furnished to Tenant of any act or omission
by
Landlord which Tenant asserts as giving Tenant the right to terminate this
Lease
or to claim a partial or total eviction or any other right or remedy under
this
Lease or provided by law. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord
shall have failed to cure any default within the time period provided for
in
this Lease, then the holder of any Underlying Mortgage shall have an additional
thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or if such default cannot
be
cured within that time, then such additional time as may be provided in the
Non-Disturbance Agreement if within such thirty (30) days such holder has
commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such
default
(including, but not limited to commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if
necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be
terminated while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.
-27-
19.
Security.
19.1
Security
Deposit. Tenant
shall pay Landlord upon execution and delivery hereof by Tenant the amount
of
Two Hundred Seventeen Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Five Dollars ($217,795.00)
(the “Security Deposit”)
as security for the full and faithful performance of each of the terms
hereof by
Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit
separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest
thereon. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this
Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment
of
rent, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain
all or
any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any rent or any other
sum in
default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend
or
become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default or to compensate
Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason
of
Tenant’s default, including without limitation, reasonable costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord to recover possession of the Premises upon
a default
by Tenant hereunder. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so
used or applied, Tenant shall, upon demand therefor, deposit cash with
Landlord
in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original
amount
and Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute a default hereunder by
Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to transfer
or mortgage its interest in the Building or Project and in this Lease,
and
Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord
shall
have the right to transfer or assign the Security Deposit to the transferee
or
mortgagee. Upon such transfer or assignment of the Security Deposit,
Landlord shall be deemed released by Tenant from all liability or obligation
for
the return of the Security Deposit and Tenant shall look solely to such
transferee or mortgagee for the return of the Security Deposit. If
Tenant shall perform in all material respects every provision of this Lease
to
be performed by it, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be
returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee of Tenant’s
interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days following the later of expiration
of
the Term and surrender of possession of the Premises to
Landlord. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7
of the California Civil Code, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter
in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit
only
those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent,
to
repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed
that
Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate
Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused
by
the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee
of
Tenant.
19.2
Letter
of
Credit.
(a)
Delivery
of LC. On or before February 1, 2008, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit (“LC”) in the amount
of One
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) (the “LC Stated
Amount”). The LC shall be issued by Societe Generale or a
national money center bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord, shall be in
the
form attached hereto as Exhibit “J”, and
shall be subject to draw by Landlord in Los Angeles County. Tenant
shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred in obtaining and renewing
the LC. The LC shall be effective from the date of delivery thereof
through the date which is one hundred (100) days after the expiration of
the
Term (the “LC Expiration
Date”). The LC may be re-issued, renewed or replaced for
annual periods, provided that the LC Stated Amount is not reduced except
as
expressly provided below. Each reissue, renewal or replacement LC
shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J”, and
shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written
approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the LC Stated Amount shall
be reduced by Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000.00) on the first (1st)
anniversary of the Commencement Date, and on each anniversary of the
Commencement Date thereafter (each, a “Reduction Date”) until reduced
to zero on the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Commencement Date; provided, however, that if an Event
of
Default has occurred and is continuing on a Reduction Date, or if an Event
of
Default would exist and be continuing on the Reduction Date but Landlord
is
barred by applicable law from sending a notice of default to Tenant with
respect
thereto, or if Tenant is in default under this Lease and Tenant has received
notice thereof as required by this Lease, but failed to cure such default
within
the time period permitted under this Lease or such lesser time as may remain
before the applicable Reduction Date, then the LC Stated Amount shall not
be
reduced on the applicable Reduction Date (but shall be reduced upon the curing
of such default, subject, however, to Landlord’s draw on the LC as permitted
hereunder in connection with an Event of Default). The LC Stated
Amount is subject to increase pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 4.2(c) of
Exhibit “D” attached
hereto.
(b)
Failure
to Reissue, Renew or Replace. If the bank that issues the LC
fails to extend the expiration date thereof through the LC Expiration Date,
and/or if Landlord receives a notice of non-renewal from such bank (as described
in the LC), then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a substitute
LC. If Tenant fails to provide Landlord with a substitute LC in a
form reasonably acceptable to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to
the
expiration of the then existing LC, then (i) such failure shall be deemed
an
Event of Default hereunder, and (ii) Landlord shall be entitled to draw down
the
full amount of the LC then available and apply, use and retain the proceeds
thereof in accordance with Paragraph
19.3(c).
-28-
(c)
Application
of LC and LC Account. Any amount of the LC which is drawn upon
by Landlord, but not used or applied by Landlord shall be held by Landlord
in an
account (the “LC
Account”) as security for the full and faithful performance of each of
the terms hereof by Tenant, subject to use and application as set forth
below. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with
respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to,
the
provisions relating to the payment of rent, or an Event of Default would
exist
under the Lease but Landlord is barred by applicable law from sending a
notice
of default to Tenant with respect thereto, or
in the
event the LC is not renewed or reissued at least thirty (30) days prior
to the
expiration of the then existing LC, Landlord may, but shall not be required
to,
draw upon all or any part of the LC and/or LC Account or use, retain or
apply
all or any part of the proceeds thereof for the payment of any rent or
any other
sum in default, to repair damages caused by Tenant, to clean the Premises,
or
for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become
obligated
to spend by reason of Tenant’s default or to compensate Landlord for loss or
damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default, including
without limitation the amounts to which Landlord may become entitled pursuant
to
Section 22.2
below (whether or not such amounts have been awarded) and any other loss,
liability, expense and damages that may accrue upon Tenant’s default or the act
or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant,
and
reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord to recover
possession of the Premises upon a default by Tenant hereunder. The
use, application, retention or draw of the LC and/or LC Account, or any
portion
thereof, by Landlord shall not (i) constitute the cure of any default by
Tenant
or the waiver of such default, (ii) prevent Landlord from exercising any
other
remedies provided for under this Lease or by law, it being intended that
Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the LC and/or LC
Account, or (iii) operate as a limitation on the amount of any recovery
to which
Landlord may otherwise be entitled. If any portion of the LC and/or
LC Account is so drawn upon, or any part of the proceeds thereof is used
or
applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor,
deposit cash with Landlord in an amount equal to the draw upon the LC and/or
the
amount of the LC Account that was used or applied (so that the
combined amount of the remaining sums available to be drawn upon the LC
and the
LC Account balance equals the LC Stated Amount), and Tenant’s failure
to do so shall be an Event of Default under this Lease. The LC
Account may be commingled with other funds of Landlord, shall be held in
Landlord’s name, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest or earnings
thereon. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, in the event
that the total amount of the LC outstanding plus any amount remaining in
the LC
Account exceeds the LC Stated Amount (“Excess Security”), then
Landlord shall return the amount of the Excess Security to Tenant upon
Tenant’s
request to the extent that such amount is available in the LC
Account.
(d)
Waiver. Tenant
hereby waives the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code,
and
all similar or successor provisions of law, now or hereafter in force, and
Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that their entire agreement with respect
to the LC and the LC Account is set forth herein.
(e)
Expiration
of LC. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under this Lease or an Event of Default would exist under the
Lease
but Landlord is barred by applicable law from sending a notice of default
to
Tenant with respect thereto, within sixty (60) days following the LC Expiration
Date, Landlord shall return any LC previously delivered by Tenant and any
balance remaining in the LC Account after use and application in accordance
with
this Section
19.3, to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option, to the last assignee, if any,
of Tenant’s interest hereunder), and Tenant shall have no further obligation to
provide the LC.
(f)
Landlord’s
Transfer. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has the right to
transfer or mortgage its interest in the Building or Project and in this
Lease,
and Tenant agrees that in the event of any such transfer or mortgage, Landlord
shall have the right to transfer or assign the LC and/or the LC Account to
the
transferee or mortgagee. Upon such transfer or assignment of the LC
and/or LC Account, Landlord shall be deemed released by Tenant from all
liability or obligation for the return of the LC and LC Account, as applicable,
and Tenant shall look solely to such transferee or mortgagee for the return
thereof. If Landlord transfers or assigns the LC and Tenant fails to
cause the bank that issued the LC to accept such transfer or assignment,
such
failure shall be an Event of Default hereunder.
(g)
Bank
Obligation. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the LC is a
separate and independent obligation of the issuing bank to Landlord and that
Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such obligation, and that Landlord’s
right to draw upon the LC for the full amount due and owing thereunder shall
not
be, in any way, restricted, impaired, altered or limited by virtue of any
provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, including without limitation,
Section 502(b)(6) thereof.
-29-
20.
Surrender
of Premises and Removal of Property.
20.1
No
Merger. The
voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, a mutual cancellation
or a
termination hereof, shall not constitute a merger, and shall, at the option
of
Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or shall operate as an
assignment to Landlord of any or all subleases affecting the
Premises.
20.2
Surrender
of Premises. Upon
the Expiration Date, or upon any earlier termination hereof, Tenant shall
quit
and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in as good order and
condition as the Premises are now or hereafter may be improved by Landlord
or
Tenant, reasonable wear and tear and repairs which are Landlord’s obligation and
Damage from casualty excepted. Upon such termination, Tenant shall
inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, in
the
Premises and shall, without expense to Landlord, remove or cause to be removed
from the Premises, all debris and rubbish, all furniture, equipment, business
and trade fixtures, free-standing cabinet work, movable partitioning and
other
articles of personal property owned by Tenant or installed or placed by Tenant
at its expense in the Premises, and all similar articles of any other persons
claiming under Tenant unless Landlord exercises its option to have any subleases
or subtenancies assigned to Landlord, and Tenant shall repair all damage
to the
Premises and the Project resulting from such removal. Prior to
surrendering the Premises, Tenant shall repair any damage caused by the removal
of Tenant’s property, including Tenant’s signs, and any Alterations designated
in writing by Landlord to be removed in accordance with Section 8.3 above,
including without limitation, the repair of the floor, and the patching and
painting of the walls, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. As a
matter of clarification, this section shall survive the termination of this
Lease and a breach of this Section 20.2
entitles Landlord, after notice and lapse of any applicable cure periods,
to all
of its remedies hereunder including the indemnity under Section
16.1.
20.3
Disposal
of Property. In
the event of the expiration of this Lease or other re-entry of the Premises
by
Landlord as provided in this Lease, any property of Tenant not removed by
Tenant
upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or within forty-eight (48)
hours
after a termination by reason of Tenant’s default, shall be considered abandoned
and Landlord may remove any or all of such property and dispose of the same
in
any manner or store the same in a public warehouse or elsewhere for the account
of, and at the expense and risk of, Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to
pay the costs of storing any such property after it has been stored for a
period
of thirty (30) days or more, Landlord may sell any or all of such property
at
public or private sale, in such manner and at such places as Landlord, in
its
sole discretion, may deem proper, without notice to or demand upon
Tenant. In the event of such sale, Landlord shall apply the proceeds
thereof, first, to the cost and expense of sale, including reasonable attorneys’
fees; second, to the repayment of the cost of removal and storage; third,
to the
repayment of any other sums which may then or thereafter be due to Landlord
from
Tenant under any of the terms of this Lease; and fourth, the balance, if
any, to
Tenant.
21.
Holding
Over.
In
the
event Tenant holds over after the expiration of the Term, with the express
or
implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be from month-to-month only,
and
not a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and such
month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to each and every term, covenant
and
agreement contained herein; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay as Basic
Rent during any holding over period, an amount equal to the greater of
one-hundred fifty percent (150%) of the fair market value rental rate of
the
Premises or two times the Basic Rent payable immediately preceding the
expiration of the Term. Nothing in this Article 21 shall
be construed as a consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant and Landlord
expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of
the
Premises upon the expiration of the Term or upon the earlier termination
hereof
and to assert any remedy in law or equity to evict Tenant and/or collect
damages
in connection with such holding over.
22.
Defaults
and Remedies.
22.1
Defaults
by Tenant. The
occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default under this
Lease
by Tenant (“Event of
Default”):
(a)
The failure by Tenant to pay the rent or make any other payment required
to be
made by Tenant under this Lease and Exhibits hereto as and when due where
such
failure continues for five (5) business days after notice thereof by Landlord
to
Tenant; provided, however, that such notice shall be in lieu of and not in
addition to any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure;
(b)

to occur in accordance with Section 1951.3 of the California Civil
Code;
-30-
(c)
The failure by Tenant to observe or perform the provisions of Articles 2 and 8
where such failure
continues and is not remedied within three (3) business days after notice
thereof from Landlord to Tenant, provided, however, if the nature of the
default
under this Paragraph 22.1(c)
does not (i) adversely affect Building Systems or Service Facilities, (ii)
adversely affect access to or safety of any Premises in the Building, or
(iii)
adversely affect the quiet enjoyment of any other tenant in the Project,
then,
if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such three (3) business
day
period, Landlord shall not be entitled to exercise its remedies under Section 22.2 if
within such three (3) business day period Tenant shall commence such cure
and
thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion within ten (10) days,
or,
in the case of Article
8, within a reasonable period of time, provided that Tenant shall
otherwise be liable to Landlord for such non-performance;
(d)
The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any other provision of this Lease
and the Exhibits hereto, including the Rules and Regulations, to be observed
or
performed by Tenant, where such failure continues for thirty (30) days after
notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature
of
such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within such
thirty
(30) day period, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant shall
within such period commence such cure and thereafter diligently prosecute
the
same to completion. Such thirty (30) day notice shall be in lieu of and not
in
addition to any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure;
(e)
Any action taken by or against Tenant pursuant to any statute pertaining
to
bankruptcy or insolvency or the reorganization of Tenant (unless, in the
case of
a petition filed against Tenant, the same is dismissed within sixty (60)
days);
the making by Tenant of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
the
appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of all or any portion
of
Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease,
where possession is not restored to Tenant within sixty (60) days; or the
attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of all or any portion of
Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease,
where such seizure is not discharged within sixty (60) days;
(f)
The failure by Tenant to provide estoppel certificates within five (5) business
days following notice from Landlord to Tenant that Tenant has failed to provide
a requested estoppel certificate within the ten (10) day period required
under
Section 31.15
hereof;
(g)
A Transfer to an entity other than an Affiliate or Successor of Tenant without
Landlord’s prior written consent which, as to a Sublease only, is not rescinded
or otherwise terminated within ten (10) business days following notice from
Landlord to Tenant of such prohibited Transfer;
(h)
Tenant's failure, refusal or neglect to cause to be released any mechanics’ lien
placed against the Premises or the Project which relates to work or services

to, Tenant or the Premises, within twenty (20) days after written notice
from
Landlord thereof, or within such shorter period as is required under the
terms
of any Underlying Mortgage;
(i)
Any rent paid by Tenant is recovered by the debtor or bankruptcy trustee
as a
preference payment in the event of the filing by or against Tenant of any
proceeding under bankruptcy law;
(j)
Any failure by Tenant to provide Landlord with a renewed LC or a substitute
LC
in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior
to the
expiration of the then existing LC; or
(k)
Any Event of Default otherwise specified in this Lease.
22.2
Landlord’s
Remedies.
(a)
If an Event of Default shall occur, then, in addition to any other remedies
available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the immediate
option to terminate this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder by giving
Tenant written notice of such election to terminate. In the event Landlord
shall
elect to so terminate this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant:
-31-
(1)
the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at
the
time of such termination; plus
(2)
the worth at the time of award of any amount by which the unpaid rent which
would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds
the
amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided; plus
(3)
the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for
the
balance of the term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of such
rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; plus
(4)
any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this
Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result
therefrom; and
(5)
at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
(b)
All “rent” (as defined in Section 4.3)
shall be computed on the basis of the monthly amount thereof payable on the
date
of Tenant’s default, as the same are to be adjusted thereafter as contemplated
by this Lease. As used in subparagraphs
(1) and
(2) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing
interest in the per annum amount equal to the prime rate of interest or other
equivalent reference rate from time to time announced by the Bank of America
National Trust and Savings Association (the “Reference Rate”) plus two
percent (2%), but in no event in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted
by law. As used in subparagraph (3)
above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by discounting such amount
at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the
time of
award plus one percent (1%).
(c)
If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as a result of Tenant’s default, on
the expiration of the time stated in Landlord’s notice to Tenant given under
Paragraph (a)
above, this Lease and the Term hereof, as well as all of the right, title
and
interest of Tenant hereunder, shall wholly cease and expire and become void
in
the same manner and with the same force and effect (except as to Tenant’s
liability) as if the date fixed in such notice were the date herein specified
for expiration of the term of this Lease. Thereupon, Tenant shall
immediately quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, and Landlord may
enter
into and repossess the Premises by summary proceedings, detainer, ejectment
or
otherwise, and remove all occupants thereof and, at Landlord’s option, any
property thereon without being liable for any damages therefor.
(d)
If an Event of Default shall occur, in addition, Landlord shall have the
remedy
described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue
lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it
becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to
reasonable limitations). Therefore, if Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease on account of any default by Tenant, Landlord may, from
time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and
remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it
becomes
due.
(e)
If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord shall also have the right, without
terminating this Lease, to re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and
property therefrom by summary proceedings or otherwise; such property may
be
removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and
for the
account of Tenant.
(f)
In the event of the abandonment of the Premises by Tenant, or in the event
that
Landlord elects to re-enter as provided in Paragraph (e)
above or takes possession of the Premises pursuant to legal proceeding or
pursuant to any notice provided by law, and if Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease, then Landlord may from time to time, without terminating
this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms
and at
such rent and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole
discretion, may deem advisable, with the right to make alterations and repairs
to the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so relet,
then rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be
applied: First, to the payment of any
-32-
indebtedness
other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment
of
any cost of such reletting (including, but not limited to, leasing commissions,
tenant improvement costs and rent concessions such as free rent); third,
to the
payment of the cost of any alterations and repairs to the Premises; fourth,
to
the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the remainder, if any,
shall
be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may
become
due and payable hereunder. Should that portion of such rentals
received from such reletting during any month, which is applied to the payment
of rent hereunder, be less than the rent payable during that month by Tenant
hereunder, then Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such
deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. Tenant shall also
pay to Landlord, as soon as ascertained, any costs and expenses incurred
by
Landlord in such reletting or in making such alterations and repairs not
covered
by the rentals received from such reletting.
22.3
Re-Entry
Not Termination. No
re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this
Article 22 shall
be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless a written notice
of
such intention be given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed
by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any reletting
without termination by Landlord because of any default of Tenant, Landlord
may
at any time after such reletting elect to terminate this Lease for any such
default.
22.4
Right
of
Landlord to Injunction; Cumulative Remedies. In
the event of a breach by Tenant of any of the agreements, conditions, covenants
or terms hereof, Landlord shall have the right of injunction to restrain
the
same and the right to invoke any remedy allowed by law or in equity whether
or
not other remedies, indemnity or reimbursements are herein
provided. The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease are
distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether or
not
exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others;
provided, however, no double recovery shall be permitted.
22.5
No
Jury Trial. Landlord
and Tenant hereby waive their respective right to trial by jury of any cause
of
action, claim, counterclaim or cross-complaint in any action, proceeding
and/or
hearing brought by either Landlord against Tenant or Tenant against Landlord
on
any matter whatsoever arising out of, or in any way connected with, this
Lease,
the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the
Premises, or any claim of injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy
under any law, statute, or regulation, emergency or otherwise, now or hereafter
in effect.
22.6
Waiver
of
Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, neither Landlord nor Tenant
shall be liable under any circumstances for, and each hereby releases the
other
from all liability for, consequential damages and injury or damage to, or
interference with, the other party’s business, including, but not limited to,
loss of title to the Premises or any portion thereof, loss of profits, loss
of
business opportunity, loss of goodwill or loss of use, in each case however
occurring, other than those consequential damages incurred by Landlord in
connection with a holdover in the Premises by Tenant after the expiration
or
earlier termination of this Lease or incurred by Landlord in connection with
failure by Tenant to provide an estoppel certificate as required under the
provisions of this Lease.
22.7
Definition
of Tenant. The
term “Tenant” shall be
deemed to include all persons or entities named as Tenant under this Lease,
or
each and every one of them. If any of the obligations of Tenant
hereunder is guaranteed by another person or entity, the term “Tenant” shall be deemed
to
include all of such guarantors and any one or more of such
guarantors. If this Lease has been assigned, the term “Tenant” shall be deemed
to
include both the assignee and the assignor.
22.8
Defaults
by Landlord. If
Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations or breaches any of its
covenants contained in this Lease and (unless another time limit is specified
in
this Lease) such default continues for a period of at least thirty (30) days
after demand for performance is given by Tenant, or if the nature of such
default is of such a character as to require more than 30 days to cure, if
Landlord shall fail to commence said cure promptly and use reasonable diligence
in working to complete such cure as quickly as reasonably possible, and if
such
default has a material adverse impact on Tenant’s use or occupancy of the
Premises, then Landlord shall be deemed to be in material default hereunder
(“Landlord
Default”). Upon any Landlord Default, Tenant may seek the
recovery of damages or may seek injunctive relief, but nothing herein shall
be
deemed to give Tenant the right to offset against or reduce the Rent or other
sums due pursuant to this Lease (without limiting any other express rights
of
offset granted to Tenant under this Lease) and in no event shall Tenant have
any
right to terminate this Lease as a result of a Landlord Default, except as
provided in the following sentence. If the Landlord Default, however,
is of such a nature that it materially and substantially interferes with
Tenant’s occupancy and use of the Premises, the foregoing provision shall not
limit any rights that Tenant may have, at law, to claim a constructive eviction
based on such Landlord Default and/or seek to terminate this Lease,
if:
-33-
(a)
Such Landlord Default continues for at least twenty (20) days after a second
notice of such default by Tenant to Landlord and the holder of any Underlying
Mortgage (whose name and address have been previously forwarded to Tenant),
stating that Tenant may seek to terminate this Lease based on such default
if
Landlord fails to timely cure such default, and
(b)
The Landlord and the holder of any Underlying Mortgage, within thirty (30)
days
after receipt of the second notice required by clause (a), fail to cure such
Landlord Default or commence and diligently pursue the remedies necessary
to
effect such cure. Said 30 day period shall commence on receipt by the Landlord
and the holder(s) of the Underlying Mortgages(s) of the second notice as
set
forth in clause (a) above.
23.
Covenant
Against Liens.
Tenant
has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any
kind
whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise,
to
attach to or be placed upon the Project or Premises, and any and all liens
and
encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant’s interest
only. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, including, without limitation, Article 14,
Tenant shall not voluntarily create or permit any lien or encumbrance on
Tenant’s leasehold hereunder. Landlord shall have the right at all
times to post and keep posted on the Premises any notice which it deems
necessary for protection from such liens. Tenant covenants and agrees
not to suffer or permit any lien of mechanics or materialmen or others to
be
placed against the Project, the Building or the Premises, or any portion
thereof, with respect to work or services claimed to have been performed
for or
materials claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises (including,
without limitation, in connection with any Alterations) and, in case of any
such
lien attaching or notice of any lien, Tenant covenants and agrees to cause
it to
be promptly released and removed of record. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Lease, in the event that such lien is not
released and removed within five (5) days after notice of such lien is delivered
by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies
based upon such breach by Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any of
its
obligations, immediately take all action necessary to release and remove
such
lien, without any duty to investigate the validity thereof, and all sums,
costs
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by
Landlord in connection with such lien shall be deemed Additional Rent under
this
Lease and shall immediately be due and payable by Tenant.
24.
Interest
on Tenant’s Obligations; Late Charges.
24.1
Interest. Any
amount due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear
interest at the lesser of two percent (2%) in excess of the Reference Rate
(as
defined in Paragraph 22.2(b))
or the maximum rate per annum which Landlord is permitted by law to charge,
from
the date such payment is due until paid, but the payment of such interest
shall
not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.
24.2
Late
Charge. In
the event Tenant is more than five (5) days late in paying any amount of
rent
due under this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to three
percent (3%) of each delinquent amount of rent and any subsequent delinquent
amount of rent. The parties agree that the amount of such late charge
represents a reasonable estimate of the cost and expense that would be incurred
by Landlord in processing each delinquent payment of rent by Tenant and that
such late charge shall be paid to Landlord as liquidated damages for each
delinquent payment pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1671, but the
payment of such late charge shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant
under
this Lease. The parties further agree that the payment of late
charges and the payment of interest provided for in Section 24.1 are
distinct and separate from one another in that the payment of interest is
to
compensate Landlord for the use of Landlord’s money by Tenant, while the payment
of a late charge is to compensate Landlord for the additional administrative
expense incurred by Landlord in handling and processing delinquent payments,
but
excluding attorneys’ fees and costs incurred with respect to such delinquent
payments.
-34-
24.3
Grace. Notwithstanding
anything the contrary contained in Sections 24.1 and 24.2 above, Tenant shall
not be obligated to pay interest as set forth in Section 24.1 or the
late charge pursuant to Section 24.2 for the
first late payments in any consecutive twelve (12) month period, provided
such
payment is not outstanding more than ten (10) days after notice thereof from
Landlord.
25.
Quiet
Enjoyment.
Tenant,
upon the paying of all rent hereunder and performing each of the covenants,
agreements and conditions of this Lease required to be performed by Tenant,
shall lawfully and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the
Term
without hindrance or molestation of anyone lawfully claiming by, through
or
under Landlord, subject, however, to the provisions of this Lease and to
any
Underlying Mortgage (to the extent this Lease is subordinate thereto, and
subject to the terms of any non-disturbance agreement in favor of
Tenant).
26.
Parking
Facilities.
26.1
General. Commencing
on the Occupancy Date Tenant shall have the right to rent and, commencing
on the
Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term, Tenant shall rent from
Landlord, and Landlord shall rent to Tenant, four (4) parking passes per
1,000
square feet of Rentable Area in the Premises (the “Allotted Parking Passes”) for
parking in the Parking Area, for such rent and subject to such reasonable
parking rules and regulations as Landlord or Landlord’s operator or licensee may
establish from time to time. Landlord shall have the right to provide
parking for the Project at off-site locations other than the Parking Area
(without relocating Tenant’s Allotted Parking Passes), and in such event, said
off-site parking areas shall be deemed part of the Project for purposes of
this
Lease. Landlord shall have the right to change, delete or modify such
off-site parking areas and to reconfigure the parking areas in the Parking
Area. The parking passes rented by Tenant pursuant to this Article 26 are
provided to Tenant solely for use by Tenant’s own personnel and such passes may
not be transferred, assigned, subleased or otherwise alienated by Tenant
without
Landlord’s prior approval. Tenant acknowledges that the Development
Agreement requires that tenants of the Lantana Campus provide free parking
to
their employees, and Tenant hereby agrees not to charge its employees for
parking.
26.2
Reserved
Passes. Tenant
shall be entitled to convert up to fifteen percent (15%) of the Allotted
Parking
Passes to reserved parking privileges in the Parking Area, for single reserved
parking stalls, in a location mutually agreed upon by Landlord and
Tenant. The remainder of the Allotted Parking Passes shall be for
first-come, first-served, unreserved stalls. Any such election may be
made by Tenant at any time upon at least thirty (30) days prior notice given
to
Landlord effective on the first day of a month, and all such reserved parking
privileges rented by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing shall be rented by
Tenant
for the balance of the Term.
26.3
Rates. The
parking pass rates for parking passes and privileges in the Parking Area
(which
excludes the ten percent (10%) City of Santa Xxxxxx Tax) for 2008 are as
follows: (a) $185.00 per parking pass per month for unreserved
parking; and (b) $225.00 per parking pass per month for reserved
parking. Said rates shall increase as the prevailing rates for
parking at the Project increase from time to time. Tenant shall be
responsible for payment of the ten percent (10%) City of Santa Xxxxxx Tax,
which
shall be paid either to Landlord or directly to the City of Santa Xxxxxx,
as
determined by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first
year following the Occupancy Date, Tenant shall be entitled to the following
discounted rates, per pass, per month for parking hereunder: $120.25 for
unreserved parking and $146.25 for reserved parking. In addition,
parking rates charged to Tenant for the second and third years following
the
Occupancy Date shall not exceed the following amounts:
Period

-35-
From
and
after the third anniversary of the Occupancy Date, Tenant’s parking passes and
privileges shall be at the prevailing rates charged by Landlord therefor,
as
such rates are adjusted from time to time.
27.
Brokers.
Landlord
and Tenant each warrants to the other that it has not had any contact or
dealings with any person or real estate broker other than Xxx & Associates –
LA North/Ventura, Inc. (“Broker”) which would give
rise
to the payment of any fee or brokerage commission in connection with this
Lease,
and Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other
from
and against any liability with respect to any fee or brokerage commission
(except one owing to Broker) arising out of any act or omission of the
indemnifying party. Landlord covenants and agrees to pay all real
estate commissions due in connection with this Lease to Broker in accordance
with the commission agreement executed by Landlord.
28.
Rules
and
Regulations.
The
“Rules and Regulations”
attached hereto
as Exhibit ”E” are
hereby incorporated herein and made a part of this Lease. Tenant
agrees to abide by and comply with each and every one of said Rules and
Regulations and any amendments, modifications and/or additions thereto as
may
hereafter be adopted by Landlord for the safety, care, security, good order
and
cleanliness of the Premises, the Building, the Parking Area, or any other
portion of the Project. Provided Tenant’s rights under this Lease are
not materially and adversely affected, Landlord shall have the right to amend,
modify or add to the Rules and Regulations in its sole
discretion. Landlord shall enforce the Rules and Regulations in a
non-discriminatory manner, provided that Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant
for any violation of any of the Rules and Regulations by any other tenant,
contractor or invitee or for the failure of Landlord to enforce any of the
Rules
and Regulations.
29.
Directory
Board and Signage.
29.1
Directory
Board. During
the Term, Tenant shall have the right to use one (1) name (a department or
individual) per thousand square feet of Rentable Area in the Premises leased
by
Tenant for placement on the directory board in the lobby of the Building
and any
other common directory board which may be available for use by office tenants
of
the Building. Tenant shall be entitled to group and alphabetical
listings on the directory board. Landlord shall have the option to
maintain, in place of the directory board in the lobby of the Building, a
computerized directory with display screen with the capacity to accommodate
Tenant’s designation of names as set forth above. Landlord shall not
impose a direct charge for the initial installation of Tenant’s designated names
on any directories, but Tenant shall pay a direct charge for any subsequent
changes to such initially designated names, billed at Landlord’s Actual Cost, as
Additional Rent hereunder.
29.2
Interior
Signage. Landlord
shall install appropriate building standard signage containing Tenant’s name
adjacent to entrance doors to the Premises. Any such signage will be
designed and constructed in a manner compatible with Building standard signage
and graphics criteria and shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except as
otherwise provided herein, no other signs or any other advertising media
of any
type that can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises shall be
permitted. Tenant shall not, without the consent of Landlord, use the
name of the Building or the Project for any purpose other than as the address
of
the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises.
29.3
Monument
Signage.
(a)
Subject to Paragraphs
29.3(b),(c) and (d) below, during the Term, Tenant shall be entitled,
subject to obtaining required approvals from the City of Santa Xxxxxx and
other
required governmental approvals, to non-exclusive
signage
displaying Tenant’s name on a monument to be developed for the Project (referred
to herein as the “Monument
Signage”).
-36-
(b)
All of Tenant’s signage rights set forth in this Section 29.3 shall
expire upon the expiration or any earlier termination of this
Lease. Upon such Lease expiration or termination, Landlord shall be
entitled to immediately remove Tenant’s Monument Signage, at Tenant’s sole
expense. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant’s rights to the
Monument Signage shall apply only while Tenant occupies at least eighty percent
(80%) of the Premises leased to Tenant hereunder. Such rights and
restrictions shall be null and void at such time as Tenant fails to occupy
at
least eighty percent (80%) of the Premises leased to Tenant hereunder, and
upon
such failure, Landlord shall be entitled to remove Tenant’s Monument Signage at
Tenant’s sole expense. For purposes hereof, the amount of space which
Tenant occupies shall mean the space personally occupied by Tenant and its
Affiliates or Successors under this Lease and not subleased or assigned to
a
third party other than an Affiliate or Successor of Tenant.
(c)
The location,
size,
materials, coloring and lighting of the monument shall be developed by Landlord
in conjunction with the Building’s architect and other
consultants. Tenant’s Monument Signage thereon shall be developed
with input from Tenant, and shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, in its sole
but good faith discretion. The Monument Signage shall be consistent
and compatible with other signage for the Project and the Project’s design,
signage and graphics programs. All such signage shall comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the governmental agencies having
jurisdiction. The design, installation, lighting and
electrical connections (if any), maintenance, repair, restoration and removal
(including restoration of the monument upon which the same was located and/or
restoration of any portion of the Building and Building appurtenances upon
which
the same was located) of Tenant’s signage shall be performed by Landlord at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall pay Landlord for
Landlord’s Actual Costs incurred in connection therewith, based upon a bid
reasonably selected by Landlord from competitive bids solicited for such
work
from independent contractors selected by Landlord, within thirty (30) days
after
receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord accompanied by reasonably adequate
substantiation of the costs to be incurred.
(d)
Tenant’s signage rights set forth in this Section 29.3 are
personal to Genius Products, LLC and may not be assigned, transferred or
conveyed to any party by sublease, assignment, operation of law or otherwise,
except that the same may be transferred in connection with a permitted Transfer
to any Affiliate or Successor of Tenant (as defined in Paragraph 14.1(b)
above and, for purposes hereof, including Genius Products, LLC itself in
case it
elects to change its name); provided, however, Tenant may only effectuate
a
transfer of Tenant’s identity rights hereunder if such Affiliate or Successor
does not have a name which relates to an entity which is of a character or
reputation, or is associated with a political faction or orientation, which
is
inconsistent with the quality of the Project, or which would otherwise
reasonably offend a landlord of first class office projects. In
connection with any such permitted transfer, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s
expense, replace Tenant’s signage with signage identifying the transferee if so
requested by the transferee, provided that such replacement signage shall
be
subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Article 29. Tenant
acknowledges Landlord’s interest in maintaining the control over the identity of
the Project and the exterior signage at the Project in order to preserve
the
image and reputation of Project as a first class office project.
30.
Appraisal;
Fair Market Rental Rate.
30.1
Appraisal. The
Fair Market Rental Rate for the Renewal Terms and the Available Space (as
defined in Section
32.1 below) shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of this Article 30. Landlord
and Tenant shall have no further right to appraisal, shall be bound by any
determination made pursuant to this Article 30 and
shall be obligated to pay and accept the rate as determined hereby.
30.2
Fair
Market Rental Rate. The
phrase “Fair Market Rental
Rate” shall mean the fair market value annual rental rate per square foot
of Rentable Area that Landlord and its Affiliates have recently accepted
in
lease transactions between non-affiliated parties with non-equity tenants
for
comparable space in the Lantana Campus, for a comparable period of time (“Comparable Transactions”);
provided, however, that if there are not sufficient or sufficiently
determinative Comparable Transactions by Landlord or its Affiliates within
the
12 month period preceding the determination of Fair Market Rental Rate, then
the
Comparable Transactions shall be transactions by owners of comparable office
building projects in the Santa Xxxxxx submarket during such 12 month
period. In any determination of Comparable Transactions, appropriate
consideration shall be given to annual rental rates per square foot of Rentable
Area, the type of escalation clauses (e.g., whether increases in additional
rent
are determined on a net or gross basis, and if gross, whether such increases
are
determined according to a base year or a
-37-
base
dollar amount expense stop), taking into account all rental and other
concessions granted in such Comparable Transactions (as well as such concessions
to which Tenant may be entitled in this Lease), taking into account all periodic
rent increases provided for in such Comparable Transactions, length of the
lease
term, size and location of premises being leased, base, shell and core delivery
conditions, building standard work letter and/or tenant improvement or
refurbishment allowances, if any (taking into account the level of existing
Base
Building Improvements and tenant improvements in the Premises in determining
the
Fair Market Rental Rate for the Renewal Terms), free rent periods for
construction of new tenant improvements, free parking, lease assumptions,
moving
allowances and other generally applicable conditions of tenancy for such
Comparable Transactions. The intent is that the Fair Market Rental
Rate will reflect the rent and other economic benefits and concessions that
Landlord or its Affiliates (and other landlords of comparable office building
projects in the Santa Xxxxxx submarket) have otherwise given in recent
Comparable Transactions, as adjusted to reflect the level and type of economic
concessions that Landlord may elect to give Tenant hereunder during the Renewal
Term, so that Tenant will pay and Landlord will receive a net effective rent
equal to the net effective rental rate in Comparable Transactions, after
adjusting for any differences between the economic concessions that
Landlord is making to Tenant hereunder and the economic concession that Landlord
or its Affiliates (and other landlords of comparable office building projects
in
the Santa Xxxxxx submarket) have otherwise made in current Comparable
Transactions. If, for example, after applying the criteria set forth
above, a Comparable Transaction provides a comparable non-equity tenant with
comparable space at a base rent equal to Sixty Dollars ($60) per square foot
of
Rentable Area, with a Ten Dollars ($10) base amount expense stop, three (3)
months’ free rent, four (4) months of free rent to construct tenant
improvements, Forty Dollars ($40) per rentable square foot tenant improvement
allowance, and certain other generally applicable economic terms and/or
concessions, the Fair Market Rental Rate shall not be Sixty Dollars ($60)
per
square foot of Rentable Area only, but shall be the economic equivalent of
Sixty
Dollars ($60) per square foot of Rentable Area, a Ten Dollar ($10) base amount
expense stop, three (3) months’ free rent, four (4) months of free rent to
construct tenant improvements, Forty Dollars ($40) per rentable square foot
tenant improvement allowance or payment in lieu of such allowance (said
allowance or payment to be adjusted to reflect the value of existing
improvements in the Premises when determining the Fair Market Rental Rate
for
the Renewal Terms) and such other generally applicable economic terms and
concessions, as adjusted to reflect the concessions
(including renovation allowances, free rent or construction periods)
if any, granted by Landlord to Tenant during the Renewal Terms or with respect
to the Available Space, as applicable.
30.3
Determination. Landlord
shall determine
the Fair Market Rental Rate for each Renewal Term by using its good faith
judgment. Landlord shall provide written notice of such amount within
thirty (30) days after Tenant provides a Renewal Notice to Landlord pursuant to
Section 3.4;
provided, however, that
Landlord shall not be obligated to provide such notice with respect to the
rent
determination for a Renewal Term prior to the date which is fifteen (15)
months
before the applicable Renewal Commencement Date. Tenant shall
have ten (10) business days (“Tenant’s Review Period”) after
receipt of Landlord’s notice of the Fair Market Rental Rate within which to
accept such rental or to object thereto in writing. In the event
Tenant fails to accept in writing Landlord’s determination, Tenant shall be
deemed to have objected, and Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon
such Fair Market Rental Rate using their best good faith efforts. If
Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following
Tenant’s Review Period (“Outside Agreement Date”), then
each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope their final proposal
as to
Fair Market Rental Rate and such determination shall be submitted to arbitration
in accordance with Subsections (b)
through
(e) below.
(a)
In the event that Landlord fails to timely generate the initial written notice
of Landlord’s opinion of the Fair Market Rental Rate which triggers the
negotiation period of this Section 30.3,
then Tenant may commence such negotiations by providing the initial notice,
in
which event Landlord shall have fifteen (15) days (“Landlord’s Review Period”)
after receipt of Tenant’s notice of the new rental within which to accept such
rental. In the event Landlord fails to accept in writing such rental
proposed by Tenant, then such proposal shall be deemed rejected, and Landlord
and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to agree upon such Fair Market Rental
Rate using their best good faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail
to reach agreement within fifteen (15) days following Landlord’s Review Period
(which shall be, in such event, the Outside Agreement Date in lieu of the
above
definition of such date), then each party shall place in a separate sealed
envelope their final proposal as to the Fair Market Rental Rate and such
determination shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Subsections (b)
through
(e) below.
-38-
(b)
Landlord and Tenant shall meet with each other within five (5) business days
of
the Outside Agreement Date and exchange the sealed envelopes and then open
such
envelopes in each other’s presence. If Landlord and Tenant do not
mutually agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate within one (1) business day
of
the exchange and opening of envelopes, then, within ten (10) business days
of
the exchange and opening of envelopes, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint
an
Experienced Broker and the two Experienced Brokers shall agree upon and jointly
appoint a third Experienced Broker, which together with the first two (2)
Experienced Brokers shall constitute the “Panel” for the final
determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate. An “Experienced Broker” means a
licensed broker who shall have been active over the ten (10) year period
ending
on the date of such appointment in the leasing of office projects in the
Santa
Xxxxxx submarket. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall consult with the
third Experienced Broker as to his or her opinion as to Fair Market Rental
Rate
prior to the appointment. The determination of the Panel shall be
limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair
Market Rental Rate is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate as
determined by the Panel, taking into account the requirements of this Article 30. The
Panel may hold such hearings and require such briefs as the Panel, in its
discretion, determines is necessary. In addition, Landlord or Tenant
may submit to the Panel, with a copy to the other party, within five (5)
business days after the appointment of the Panel any market data and additional
information that such party deems relevant to the determination of the Fair
Market Rental Rate (“FMRR
Data”) and the other party may submit a reply in writing within five (5)
business days after receipt of such FMRR Data.
(c)
The Panel shall, within thirty (30) days of appointment, reach a decision
as to
whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s submitted Fair Market
Rental Rate, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant of such
determination. Any decision so submitted shall be signed by a
majority of the members of the Panel, if more than two have been
selected. If only two members have been selected and they are unable
to agree, then either Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to apply to the
presiding judge of the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, California
(or, if he or she refuses to act, by any judge having jurisdiction over the
parties) for the selection of the third Experienced Broker who shall be selected
from a list of names of Experienced Brokers submitted by Landlord or from
a list
of names submitted by Tenant, as the case may be, unless both Landlord and
Tenant submit lists of names, in which case the Court (or judge) shall select
the third Experienced Broker from the lists.
(d)
The decision of the Panel shall be binding upon Landlord and
Tenant.
(e)
The cost and fees of each Experienced Broker appointed by the parties shall
be
borne by the party appointing such Experienced Broker, and the cost and
reasonable fees of the third Experienced Broker and the cost of the arbitration
shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally.
31.
General
Provisions.
31.1
No
Waiver. The
waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, provision, covenant or condition
contained in this Lease, or the failure of Landlord to insist on the strict
performance by Tenant, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,
provision, covenant or condition as to any subsequent breach thereof or of
any
other term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease. The
acceptance of rents hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of
any breach or default by Tenant of any term, provision, covenant or condition
herein, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such breach or default at the time
of acceptance of rent.
31.2
Landlord’s
Right to Perform. All
covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the terms
of
this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole expense and without
abatement of rent. If Tenant shall fail to observe and perform any
covenant, condition, provision or agreement contained in this Lease or shall
fail to perform any other act required to be performed by Tenant, Landlord
may,
upon notice to Tenant, without obligation, and without waiving or releasing
Tenant from any default or obligations of Tenant, make any such payment or
perform any such obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed. All
sums so paid by Landlord and all costs incurred by Landlord in making such
payment or performing such obligation or enforcing this Lease, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with interest thereon in a per annum amount
equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the Reference Rate (as defined in
Paragraph 22.2(b),
but not in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law, shall be payable
to
Landlord on demand and Tenant covenants to pay any such sums, and Landlord
shall
have (in addition to any other right or remedy hereunder) the same rights
and
remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case
of
default by Tenant in the payment of rent.
31.3
Terms;
Headings. The
words “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein shall include the plural, as well
as the singular. The words used in neuter gender include the
masculine and feminine and words in the masculine or feminine gender include

imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several. The headings or
titles of this Lease shall have no effect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part hereof.
-39-
31.4
Entire
Agreement. This
instrument along with any exhibits and attachments or other documents affixed
hereto and constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between Landlord
and
Tenant with respect to the Premises and the estate and interest leased to
Tenant
hereunder. This instrument and said exhibits and attachments and
other documents may be altered, amended, modified or revoked only by an
instrument in writing signed by both Landlord and Tenant. Landlord
and Tenant hereby agree that all prior or contemporaneous oral and written
understandings, agreements or negotiations relative to the leasing of the
Premises are merged into and revoked by this instrument.
31.5

appropriate address indicated below, or at such other place or places as
either
Landlord or Tenant may, from time to time, designate in a written notice
given
to the other. If the term “Tenant” in this Lease refers to more than
one person or entity, Landlord shall be required to make service or delivery,
as
aforesaid, to any one of said persons or entities only. Notices shall
be deemed sufficiently served or given at the time of personal delivery or
three
(3) days after the date of mailing thereof; provided, however, that any notice
of default to Tenant under Article 22 shall
be hand-delivered to the Premises. Any notice, request, communication
or demand by Tenant to Landlord shall be addressed to the Landlord at the

Attention: _______________
(and
after the Occupancy Date, to the Premises)
Rejection
or other refusal to accept a notice, request, communication or demand or
the
inability to deliver the same because of a changed address of which no notice
was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice, request, communication
or
demand sent.
31.7
Severability. If
any term or provision of this Lease, the deletion of which would not adversely
affect the receipt of any material benefit by either party hereunder, shall
be
held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remaining terms, conditions
and
covenants of this Lease shall not be affected thereby and each of said terms,
covenants and conditions shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent
permitted by law.
31.8
Time
of
Essence. Time
is of the essence of this Lease and each provision hereof in which time of
performance is established.

Law. This
Lease shall be governed by, interpreted and construed in accordance with
the
laws of the State of California.
-40-
31.10
Attorneys’
Fees. If
Landlord retains the services of attorneys (a) for recovery of possession
of the Premises, or (b) for recovery of any sum due under this Lease, then
all such costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs,
incurred by Landlord shall be paid by Tenant. If any action or
proceeding (including
any appeal thereof) is brought by Landlord or Tenant (whether or not such
action
is prosecuted to judgment) to enforce its respective rights under this
Lease or
to enforce a judgment (“Action”), (1) the
unsuccessful party therein shall pay all costs incurred by the prevailing
party
therein, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to be fixed by the
court, and (2) as a separate right, severable from any other rights set
forth in this Lease, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to
recover
its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing any judgment
against the unsuccessful party therein, which right to recover post-judgment
attorneys’ fees and costs shall be included in any such judgment. The
parties hereto hereby waive any right to a trial by jury. The right
to recover post-judgment attorneys’ fees and costs shall (i) not be deemed
waived if not included in any judgment, (ii) survive the final judgment in
any Action, and (iii) not be deemed merged into such
judgment. The rights and obligations of the parties under this Section 31.10
shall survive the termination of this Lease.
31.11
Light
and
Air. Any
diminution or shutting off of light, air or view by any structure which may
be
erected on lands adjacent to the Building or any other portion of the Project
shall in no manner affect this Lease or impose any liability whatsoever on
Landlord.
31.12
Bankruptcy
Prior to Commencement. If,
at any time prior to the Commencement Date, any action is taken by or against
Tenant in any court pursuant to any statute pertaining to bankruptcy or
insolvency or the reorganization of Tenant, Tenant makes any general assignment
for the benefit of creditors, a trustee or receiver is appointed to take
possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets or of Tenant’s interest in
this Lease, or there is an attachment, execution or other judicial seizure
of
substantially all of Tenant’s assets or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, then
this Lease shall ipsofacto
be canceled and
terminated and of no further force or effect. In such event, neither
Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant or by virtue of any
statute or of any order of any court shall be entitled to possession of the
Premises or any interest in this Lease and Landlord shall, in addition to
any
other rights and remedies under this Lease, be entitled to retain any rent,
security deposit or other monies received by Landlord from Tenant as liquidated
damages.
31.13
Force
Majeure. Landlord
shall not be liable for any failure to comply or delay in complying with
its
obligations hereunder if such failure or delay is due to acts of God, inability
to obtain labor, strikes, lockouts, lack of materials, governmental
restrictions, enemy actions, civil commotion, fire, earthquake, unavoidable
casualty or other similar causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (all of
which events are herein referred to as force majeure
events). It is
expressly agreed that Landlord shall not be obliged to settle any strike
to
avoid a forcemajeure
event from
continuing.
31.14
Applicable
Laws. Tenant
shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Premises
which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other
governmental rule, regulation or requirement now or hereafter in effect,
including, without limitation, the Americans with Disability Act of 1990
and
local enactments thereof and promulgations thereunder (“Applicable
Laws”). At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall promptly
comply with all requirements of Applicable Laws, including, without limitation,
making required changes to the Premises, the access thereto and common area
restrooms therefor, Base Building Improvements and Building Systems, and
other
areas of the Project (other than making structural changes) relating to or
arising out of Tenant’s use, occupancy, repair, improvement or alteration of the
Premises, including any Alterations described in Article 8, but
excluding (a) any such compliance work required in connection with the initial
design and construction of the Project and the Tenant Improvements initially
installed in the Premises pursuant to Exhibit “D” hereto,
and (b) any structural changes and/or additions or modifications to the Base
Building Improvements, Building Systems, Service Facilities, Parking Area
and
the common areas of the Building and Project; except that Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord for the actual cost of all alterations and modifications required
to be
made to the Base Building Improvements, Building Systems, Service Facilities,
Parking Area and the common areas of the Building and Project to the extent
(i)
resulting directly from Alterations, and/or (ii) such changes are required
due
to Tenant’s particular manner of use, occupancy, repair or alteration (after the
Commencement Date) of the Premises (as opposed to use, occupancy, repair
or
alteration for normal and customary office purposes by tenants
generally). Subject to Article 5, Landlord
and not Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with Applicable
Laws with respect to areas of the Project not within the Premises where
such compliance measures are required due to another tenant’s use, occupancy,
repair, improvement or alteration of its premises, or where such compliance
is
not made the responsibility of Tenant as set forth above.
-41-
31.15
Estoppel
Certificates. Tenant
shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days
prior
notice by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel
certificate, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit “G”
attached
hereto (or such other commercially reasonable form as may be required by
any
prospective mortgagee or purchaser of the Project, or any portion thereof),
indicating therein any exceptions thereto that may exist at that time, and
also
containing any other information reasonably requested by Landlord or the
holder
of any Underlying Mortgage. Any such statement delivered pursuant to
this Section 31.15
may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the fee of the Building
or
the Project or any mortgagee, ground lessor or other like encumbrancer thereof
or any assignee of any such encumbrancer upon the Building or the
Project. Failure of Tenant to timely execute and deliver such a
statement delivered by Landlord for execution shall constitute acceptance
and
acknowledgment by Tenant that all information included in the statement is
true
and correct.
31.16
Examination
of Lease. The
submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant, Tenant’s
agents or attorneys, does not constitute a reservation of, or an option to
lease, and this instrument shall not be effective or binding as a lease or
otherwise until its execution and delivery by both Landlord and
Tenant.
31.17
Limited
Liability. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord is a limited liability company formed under the
laws
of the State of Delaware whose manager and sole member is Xxxxxxx Properties,
L.P. Tenant agrees that, in any action arising out of or relating to
the performance of this Lease, Tenant will proceed only against Landlord
or its
successors and assigns and not against any member or manager of Landlord
(or in
any entity to which Landlord may assign this Lease), or any of such members’ or
manager’s directors, officers, employees, agents, shareholders, partners,
members, managers or affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in this
Lease or any law to the contrary, the liability of Landlord hereunder (including
any successor landlord hereunder) and any recourse by Tenant against Landlord
shall be limited solely to the interest of Landlord in the Project, and neither
Landlord, nor any of its constituent members or managers, nor any of their
respective affiliates, partners, members, managers, directors, officers,
employees, agents or shareholders shall have any personal liability therefor,
and Tenant, for itself and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant,
expressly waives and releases Landlord and such related persons and entities
from any and all personal liability. The provisions of this Section 31.17 are
enforceable by both Landlord and any member or manager of Landlord, and shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
31.18
Hazardous
Materials.
(a)
Landlord represents to Tenant that, to the best knowledge of Landlord, the
Building and the Premises will be delivered to Tenant on the Occupancy Date
in
compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all applicable environmental
laws
and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as such laws are interpreted
and enforced on the Occupancy Date. Landlord further represents to Tenant
that
to the best knowledge of Landlord, based on a review of the environmental
reports and studies provided to Landlord, no Hazardous Materials currently
are
located on the Land or the Premises in an amount or in a manner that would
be
materially adverse to Tenant or in violation of applicable environmental
laws,
as such laws are currently interpreted and enforced on the date hereof. Any
costs or expenses incurred by Tenant with respect to the removal or remediation
of Hazardous Materials located in the Premises or the Building in violation
of
the foregoing representation by Landlord regarding Hazardous Materials, shall
be
reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord within thirty (30) days after a written
demand
by Tenant supported by reasonable written detail concerning the source and
type
of Hazardous Materials discovered by Tenant in or about the Premises and
the
cost of such removal or remediation; provided that Tenant shall first notify
Landlord of the presence of such Hazardous Materials and allow Landlord a
reasonable period to undertake such removal and remediation at Landlord’s
expense prior to Tenant undertaking such removal or
remediation. For purposes hereof, the phrase “the best
knowledge of Landlord” shall mean the present, actual knowledge of the Property
Manager directly employed by Landlord or any of its Affiliates at the
Project.
(b)
Landlord and Tenant will not, at any time, use or authorize the use of any
portion of the Premises, the Building, Parking Area, or the Land to be used
in
violation of any Applicable Laws in effect as of the Commencement Date relating
to environmental conditions on, under or about the Building, including but
not
limited to asbestos, soil and ground water conditions and Hazardous Materials
(defined below). Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall at any time use, generate,
store or dispose of on, under or about the Building or transport to or from
the
same any Hazardous Materials or permit or allow any third party to do so,
without compliance with all Applicable Laws. Landlord and Tenant shall defend,
indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all losses,
damages, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities and claims
arising from their respective failure to perform in accordance with the
foregoing. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” means any
hazardous or toxic substance that is listed or defined as a “hazardous waste,”
“restricted hazardous waste,” or “hazardous substance” under any municipal,
state or federal law, code or other regulation, or which would require removal,
treatment or remedial action pursuant to standards established by the California
Department of Health Services. This Section 31.18 shall
not be construed to limit the provisions of Article 2 nor to
permit use or storage of Hazardous Materials at the Project other than in
immaterial quantities necessary to the uses permitted under Article 2 and which
do not require any permit or variance from governmental authority having
jurisdiction.
-42-
31.19
Authority. Landlord
hereby represents and warrants that Landlord is a duly formed and existing
entity qualified to do business in California and that Landlord has full
right
and authority to execute and deliver this Lease and that the person signing
on
behalf of Landlord is authorized to do so. Tenant hereby represents
and warrants that Tenant is a duly formed and existing entity qualified to
do
business in California and that Tenant has full right and authority to execute
and deliver this Lease and that the person signing on behalf of Tenant is
authorized to do so.
32.
Right
of
First Refusal for Additional Space.
32.1
Offer
Space; Notice and Acceptance.
(a)
Until the termination of Tenant’s rights under this Article 32, prior
to
entering into a lease of Offer Space with a third party, Tenant shall have
the
right to lease (the “Offer
Right”), as set forth in this Article
32, space
contiguous to the Premises on the second (2nd) floor of the Building, as
follows: if, on or after the execution and delivery of this Lease by
Landlord and Tenant, Landlord has received a bona fide request for proposal
(“RFP”) in writing from
a third party to lease any portion of the space contiguous to the Premises
on
the second (2nd) floor of the Building (“Offer Space”) (which RFP is
one to which Landlord intends or desires to respond with a proposal or offer
to
lease space), or if Landlord delivers a proposal or offer to lease Offer
Space
to a third party, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice thereof (“Offer Notice”), which Offer
Notice shall include Landlord’s estimate of the then applicable Fair Market
Rental Rate (as defined in Section 30.2
above). Offer Space shall not include space that (i) is subject to an
executed lease, (ii) is the subject of an option to expand or a right of
first
offer granted to any other person or tenant, which rights are existing on
the
date hereof or hereafter granted without violation of Tenant’s rights hereunder,
or (iii) is space under a lease with Landlord then being
renewed. Tenant shall have ten (10) business days after its receipt
of the Offer Notice (the “Acceptance Period”) in which
Tenant may give Landlord written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) of
Tenant’s acceptance of and agreement to Lease the Offer Space on the terms and
conditions specified in the Offer Notice, which Acceptance Notice will either
(a) confirm Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s statement of the Fair Market
Rental Rate, or (b) confirm Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s statement of the
Fair Market Rental Rate, in which case the parties shall proceed to mutually
determine the Fair Market Rental Rate in accordance with the procedure set
forth
in Paragraph
32.1(b) below, and Tenant shall lease the Offer Space at the Fair Market
Rental Rate determined thereby. After the expiration of the
Acceptance Period, if Tenant has not given Landlord a timely Acceptance Notice,
then Landlord shall be free to lease such Offer Space to any other person
and
Tenant shall not have any rights under this Article 32 with
respect to such Offer Space for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days
after
expiration of said ten (10) business day period.
(b)
If Tenant timely elects to lease Offer Space hereunder but rejects Landlord’s
statement of the Fair Market Rental Rate, then no later than ten (10) days
after
the date that Tenant gives its Acceptance Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall
commence good faith and mutually diligent discussions to endeavor to agree
on
the applicable Fair Market Rental Rate. If Landlord and Tenant do not
agree on such rate within twenty (20) days after the expiration of said ten
(10)
day period (which shall be, in such event, the “Outside Agreement Date” for
purposes of Sections 30.3(b)
through
(e) above), then each party shall place in a separate sealed envelope
their final proposal as to the Fair Market Rental Rate and such determination
shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 30.3(b)
through
(e) above.
32.2
Terms. If
during the Acceptance Period Tenant gives Landlord an Acceptance Notice,
Landlord and Tenant shall then promptly agree to amend this Lease to add
the
Offer Space to the Premises on the terms and conditions substantially consistent
with the Offer Notice (and otherwise, to the extent not inconsistent with
the
terms and conditions specified in the Offer Notice, on the terms and conditions
contained in this Lease); provided, that (a) the
Fair
Market Rental Rate for the Offer Space shall be set according to the procedure
set forth in Paragraph
32.1(b) above, if applicable, and (b) Tenant’s lease of the Offer Space
shall be for a term coterminous with the Term of this Lease (and the
determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate shall take such Term into account)
unless the Acceptance Notice is given within the last three (3) years of
the
Term, in which case the term of the lease of the Offer Space shall be as
set
forth in the Offer Notice.
-43-
32.3
Delivery. If
Tenant shall exercise the Offer Right granted herein, Landlord does not
guarantee that the Offer Space will be available on the commencement date
for
the lease thereof, if the then existing occupant(s) of the Offer Space shall
hold-over, or for any other reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable
control. In such event, rent with respect to the Offer Space shall be
abated until Landlord legally delivers the same to Tenant, as Tenant’s sole
recourse (taking into account any construction period or free rent period
determined as part of the Fair Market Rental Rate).
32.4
Termination
of Right. The
Offer Right shall, at Landlord’s election, be null and void, if an Event of
Default under the Lease exists on the date Tenant exercises its rights hereunder
or at any time thereafter and prior to the commencement of the lease for
the
Offer Space. If the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the
Premises shall terminate in any manner whatsoever before Tenant shall exercise
the right herein provided, then immediately upon such termination, the right
to

D-3
3.3
Other
Upgrades and Changes. Tenant
may request changes to the Tenant Plans, Working Drawings or upgrades not
specified in Section
3.2 above, provided that (a) the changes shall not be of a lesser quality
than indicated in the Specifications, as the same may be changed from time
to
time by Landlord; (b) the changes conform to applicable governmental regulations
and necessary governmental permits and approvals can be secured; (c) the
changes
do not require building service beyond the levels normally provided to other
tenants in the Building; (d) the changes do not have any adverse affect on
the
structural integrity or systems of the Building; (e) the changes will not,
in
Landlord’s reasonable opinion, delay construction of the Tenant Improvements;
and (f) Landlord has determined in its sole discretion that the changes are
of a
nature and quality consistent with the overall objectives of Landlord for
the
Building. If Landlord approves a change requested by Tenant to the
Tenant Plans or additional Tenant Upgrades not specified in Section 3.2 above,
then, as a condition to the effectiveness of Landlord’s approval, Tenant shall
pay the increased cost attributable to such change or upgrade (as applicable),
as reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with Section
4.2. To the extent any such change or upgrade results in a
delay of completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements, then such
delay
shall constitute a Tenant Delay as described in Section 5.1
below.
4.
Construction.
4.1
Upgrade
Cost Estimate. Landlord
shall submit to Tenant a written estimate of the total Upgrade Cost (“Estimate”), including all
costs to be incurred by Tenant in connection with the Tenant Upgrades, and
based
upon the bids received general contractors selected from Landlord’s approved
list of contractors, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion which contractor shall
be selected by Landlord to construct the Tenant Improvements (the “Contractor”). Tenant
shall review the Estimate and shall approve or disapprove the Estimate, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, in writing within five (5) days
of
Landlord’s submission of the Estimate to Tenant. If Tenant
disapproves, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and confer and discuss
the
difference in good faith, and upon resolution Landlord shall promptly resubmit
to Tenant for Tenant’s approval of the same, provided, that if the dispute has
not been resolved within five (5) days then each additional day for which
the
dispute continues shall be a Tenant Delay. If Tenant fails to
disapprove the Estimate within said five (5) days, the Estimate shall be
deemed
approved by Tenant. Tenant’s unreasonable disapproval of the Estimate
shall constitute a Tenant Delay.
4.2
Tenant
Cost Amount.
(a)
Payment. The
cost of the Tenant Upgrades reflected in the approved Estimate, when added
to
the Supervision Fee set forth in Section 4.3 below,
shall be the “Tenant Cost
Amount.” Subject to Paragraphs
4.2(b) and
(c) below, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Tenant Cost Amount as
follows: (a) fifty percent (50%) of the Tenant Cost Amount shall be paid to
Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s written request therefor
and in any event prior to commencement of construction of the Tenant
Improvements, and (b) the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Tenant Cost
Amount shall be paid to Landlord within ten (10) days after receipt of a
notice
from Landlord that the Contractor has determined that the Tenant Improvements
are at least fifty percent (50%) complete. In the event that after
delivery of the approved Estimate, any revisions, changes, or substitutions
are
made by Tenant to the Working Drawings or the Tenant Improvements, then any
additional costs which arise in connection with such revisions, changes or
substitutions or any other additional costs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request therefor as an addition to the
Tenant Cost Amount. Landlord shall have no obligation to commence, or
continue, as the case may be, construction of the Tenant Improvements until
Tenant pays any Tenant Cost Amount owed by Tenant and requested by Landlord
pursuant to this Section 4.2. Landlord
shall keep Tenant fully informed with respect to construction progress and
the
hard construction costs incurred by Landlord for the Tenant
Improvements. Late payments by Tenant hereunder shall be subject to
the provisions of Article 24 of the Lease.
(b)
Allowance. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the first Twenty–Five Thousand
Dollars ($25,000.00) of the Tenant Cost Amount (the “Upgrade Allowance”) shall be
paid by Landlord.
D-4
(c)
Additional
Allowance. In addition to the amount of the Upgrade Allowance
provided for in Paragraph 4.2(b)
above, at Tenant’s request to Landlord at any time prior to commencement of
construction of the Tenant Improvements, given by written notice specifying
the
amount requested, Landlord will increase the Upgrade Allowance hereunder
by up
to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). If Tenant exercises
the foregoing option to increase the Upgrade Allowance, the Basic Rent payable
by Tenant pursuant to the Lease shall be increased by an amount required
to
fully amortize in equal monthly installments the sum of (i) the portion of
said
additional Upgrade Allowance requested by Tenant (the “Added Allowance Amount”), plus
(ii) interest at ten percent (10%) per annum on the Added Allowance Amount
for
the period from the Occupancy Date to the Commencement Date, over a ten (10)
year term commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the tenth (10th)
anniversary of the Commencement Date, together with interest at ten percent
(10%) per annum. In such event, the Basic Rent payable by Tenant for
the initial Term shall be increased by the foregoing amortization amount
and all
references in the Lease to the Basic Rent payable by Tenant during the initial
Term shall be amended to increase said Basic Rent by the foregoing amortization
amount. Furthermore, whenever the Lease provides for the abatement of
rent payable by Tenant to Landlord, the monthly installments of Basic Rent
attributable to the amortization amounts shall not be abated under any
circumstances. If the Lease is terminated for any reason, following such
termination, and as an obligation which the parties specifically agree shall
survive any such termination, Tenant shall continue to make monthly payments
to
Landlord in the amount of the foregoing amortization amounts until the tenth
(10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date. In the event of such
termination, Landlord may require Tenant, in lieu of continuing the foregoing
monthly payments, to pay the then present value of the remaining payments
owed
by Tenant under the Lease for such amortization, with such present value
to be
computed using a discount rate equal to the rate of interest then being used
to
determine the amounts to be added to Basic Rent. Any such election by
Landlord to require Tenant to pay said present value shall be made by notice
to
Tenant on or before the date which is 60 days after the termination of the
Lease. Payment of said present value amount shall be due and payable
within 30 days after such notice. The failure by Tenant to make any
payments required under this Paragraph 4.2(c)
shall be deemed to be a monetary default under the Lease and shall entitle
Landlord to all of its rights and remedies as provided therein, including,
without limitation, the rights and remedies provided for in Article 22 of the
Lease. In addition, the LC Stated Amount set forth in Section 19.2 of
the Lease shall be increased by an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the
Added
Allowance Amount, and Tenant shall, prior to commencement of the construction
of
the Tenant Improvements, deliver an amendment to the LC increasing the LC
Stated
Amount by such amount, or another letter of credit for such amount
otherwise meeting the requirements for the LC set forth in Article 19 of
the
Lease.
4.3
Construction
Commencementand
Coordination. At
such time
when, in Landlord’s discretion, the Building has reached the state of
construction where it is appropriate to commence construction of the Tenant
Improvements, the Contractor selected by Landlord shall commence and diligently
proceed to construct and complete all Tenant Improvements, subject to delays
which are beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or its
Contractor.
4.4
Punch
List. Prior
to the date
upon which Tenant occupies the Premises, Landlord shall cause its general
contractor to inspect the Premises with a representative of Tenant and complete
a written punch list of unfinished items of Tenant Improvements prior to
Tenant’s moving into the Premises. Tenant shall execute said punch
list to indicate approval thereof, and if Tenant does not disapprove the
punch
list within five (5) business days after receipt thereof, Tenant shall be
deemed
to have approved the same. The items listed on such punch list shall
be completed by Landlord’s contractors within fifteen (15) days after the
approval of such punch list or as soon thereafter as reasonably
practicable.
4.5
Contractor's
Warranties and Guaranties. Landlord
hereby assigns to Tenant all warranties and guaranties by the Contractor
relating to the Tenant Improvements. Such warranties and guaranties
of the Contractor shall guarantee that the Tenant Improvements shall be free
from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than
one
(1) year from the date of completion thereof, and the Contractor shall be
responsible for the replacement or repair, without additional charge, of
the
Tenant Improvements that shall become defective within one (1) year after
the
Occupancy Date (defined in Section 3.1 of the Lease). The correction
of such work shall include, without additional charge, all additional expenses
and damages in connection with such removal or replacement of all or any
part of
the Tenant Improvements.

Delay.
5.1
Definition. “Tenant

notice.
D-6
5.2
Occupancy
Date Delay. In
the event the
Occupancy Date, as defined in Article 3 of the Lease, is delayed as a result
of
any Tenant Delay, the Occupancy Date shall be deemed to occur on the date

and
reasonably documented by Landlord as a result of any Tenant Delay.

an
Event of Default, after notice has been given and lapse of any applicable
cure
period under the Lease, and shall entitle Landlord to exercise all remedies
set
forth in the Lease.
9.
Reasonable
Diligence. Both
Landlord and Tenant agree to use reasonable diligence in performing all of
their
respective obligations and duties under this Improvement Letter for the
construction and completion of the Building and all Tenant Improvements in
the
Premises, including, without limitation, Landlord’s obligation to fund the

Information and Meetings. Provided
Tenant’s representatives comply with the reasonable on-site sign-in procedures
established from time to time by the general contractor for the construction
of
the Building, Landlord shall permit Tenant’s representatives to enter into the
Premises and the Building at any time during the course of construction thereof,
to monitor the status and progress of the construction. Any such
entry by Tenant or its employees, contractors, agents or representatives
shall
not delay or interfere in any way with Landlord’s or its contractors’ or
subcontractors’ completion of the Building or Tenant Improvements, and any such
entry by Tenant or its employees, contractors, agents or representatives
shall
not result in any additional costs to Landlord, unless Tenant pays for the
same. All such activities by Tenant shall be scheduled and
coordinated through Landlord and its contractors and Tenant shall be responsible
for all damage to the Premises caused by its entry. Landlord shall
have no liability for any injury to Tenant’s employees, contractors, agents or
representatives, or for damage to any property of Tenant, its employees,
contractors, agents or representatives occurring prior to the Occupancy Date
except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord,
its employees, contractors or agents. Such entry by Tenant shall not
be deemed to affect the Occupancy Date within the meaning of Section 3.1 of

representative, fully informed as to the status of the design, permitting
and
construction of the Building. Landlord and Tenant, and their
respective design and construction representatives shall meet at least monthly

THIS

________________________________, a _____________________________ (“Lessee”),
XXXXXXX PROPERTIES–3301 EXPOSITION,
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., a national banking association with its main office in Chicago, Illinois
(“Bank”).
WHEREAS,
Bank has made a loan to Borrower in the principal amount of $___________
(the
“Loan”).
WHEREAS,
as security for repayment of the Loan and performance of Borrower’s obligations
to the Bank, Borrower has executed and delivered to Bank, among other things,
a
_________________ [Construction] Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases, Security
Agreement and Fixture Filing, which is to be recorded in the official records
of
Los Angeles County, California (the “Deed of Trust”), wherein Bank is
Beneficiary granting to the Bank a lien on the real property described in
Exhibit “A” attached
hereto and made a part hereof by this reference (the “Property”).
WHEREAS,
Lessee claims an interest in the Property by virtue of that certain Lantana
Office Lease dated as of ________________, 200__ between Borrower, as landlord,
and Lessee, as tenant, as amended by that certain ____________________ dated
as
of _____________________, 200__ (collectively, the “Lease”).
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the documents executed by Bank and Borrower in connection with
the
Loan, and as a condition to Bank’s obligations to make the Loan, Borrower is
required to cause Lessee to execute, acknowledge and deliver this
Agreement;
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of Bank’s agreement to make the Loan, the parties
agree as follows:
1.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lessee hereby subjects and subordinates
any and all right, title, liens, claims, and interests it now has or hereafter
acquires in and to the Property, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise,
to
Bank’s liens on and claims against the Property under the Deed of Trust and
otherwise. Lessee agrees that its subordination hereunder shall apply
to the full extent of all principal advanced under the Loan, together with
all
accrued and accruing interest, and together with all other amounts secured
by
the Deed of Trust, including without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and costs
incurred by Bank in connection with the Loan or the Property. Lessee
hereby agrees that the Deed of Trust and any and all claims or liens hereafter
acquired by Bank in and to the Property are prior and superior to any and
all
right, title, claims, liens, or interest now held or hereafter acquired by
Lessee in and to the Property. This subordination shall extend to any
and all increases, renewals, extensions, modifications, substitutions, and
consolidations of the Deed of Trust, of the Loan, and of any other documents
securing the Loan, and Bank may, without notice or demand, and without affecting
the subordination hereunder, (a) renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment or otherwise change the terms of the
Loan
or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of interest thereon,
(b) waive or release any part of its lien on the Property, (c) apply
proceeds from the sale of the Property and direct the order or manner of
sale
thereof as Bank, in its discretion, may determine, and (d) assign its
rights hereunder or under the Loan, or both, in whole or in part.
F-1
2.
Lessee acknowledges that the Loan would not have been made by Bank without
the
giving of this Agreement by Lessee and further acknowledges that Bank is
relying
upon this Agreement in making the Loan to Borrower.
3.
Any transfer or encumbrance of the Lease or Lessee’s interest therein shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement. Lessee hereby agrees to
notify any purchaser, assignee, or encumbrancer of the Lease of the terms
of
this Agreement.
4.
Lessee covenants and agrees that:
(a)
Lessee will faithfully perform all obligations of the lessee under the terms
of
the lease;
(b)
Lessee will not pay any installment of rent or any part thereof more than
one
(1) month prior to the due date of such installment;
(c)
No extension or modification of the Lease shall be of any force or effect
unless
Bank has specifically consented thereto in writing;
(d)
Bank may enter upon the Property and inspect the same at any reasonable
time;
(e)
Lessee will at any time and from time to time execute, deliver and acknowledge
to Bank or to any third party designated by Bank, within thirty (30) days
following Bank’s written request therefor, a statement in writing certifying
whether the Lease is in full force and effect, that Borrower is not in default
thereunder (or specifying any defaults by Borrower which Lessee alleges),
that
rent has not been prepaid more than one (1) month in advance, and specifying
any
further information about the Lease or the Property which Bank or said third
party may reasonably request; and
(f)
All rental payments under the Lease shall be paid as therein provided until
Lessee has been otherwise notified by Bank. Immediately upon receipt of such
notice from Bank, Lessee shall make all rental payments under the Lease to
Bank
at Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, XX0-0000, P. O. Xxx 00000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx
00000, Attn: Real Estate Loan Administration (241 North Central, Phoenix,
Arizona 85004), until Lessee is otherwise directed in writing by
Bank.
5.
Lessee covenants and agrees that it will deliver to Bank a copy of all notices
of default or termination that Lessee serves on or receives from Borrower.
Lessee will notify Bank of any default on the part of Borrower under the
Lease
which would entitle Lessee to cancel the Lease or to xxxxx the rent payable
thereunder. Lessee further covenants and agrees that if Borrower shall have
failed to cure such default within the time provided for in the Lease, then
(a)
Bank shall have an additional thirty (30) days to cure such default or if
such
default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may
be
necessary if within such thirty (30) days Bank has commenced and is diligently
pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such a default (including, but not
limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceeding if necessary to effect
such
cure), in which event the Lease shall not be terminated while such remedies
are
being so diligently pursued, and (b) if Bank diligently seeks the appointment
of
a receive for the portion of the Property subject to the Lease, such receiver
shall, if appointed, have such time as may reasonably be necessary to cure
such
default provided that such receiver at all time diligently pursues such cure,
in
which event the Lease shall not be terminated while such cure is being so
diligently pursued. Lessee agrees that the correction of any such default
by
Bank or by a court-appointed receiver shall have the same effect and be treated
as a correction by Borrower.
F-2
6.
If the interests of Borrower shall be transferred by reason of foreclosure
or
exercise of power of sale or other proceeding for enforcement of the Deed
of
Trust, or by reason of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Lessee shall be bound
by
the person acquiring the interests of landlord (the “Purchaser”) under all of
the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term
thereof remaining and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be affected
in accordance with any option therefor in the Lease, with the same force
and
effect as if the Purchaser were the lessor under the Lease. Lessee
does hereby attorn to the Purchase (including Bank, if it be the Purchaser)
as
its landlord, said attornment to be effective and self operative without
the
execution of any further instruments upon Purchase succeeding to the interest
of
the landlord under the Lease.
7.
Provided Lessee is not in default under the terms of the Lease after any
applicable notice required by the Lease shall have been given and any applicable
cure period provided in the Lease shall have expired, then the right of
possession of Lessee to the portion of the Property subject to the Lease
shall
not be affected or disturbed by Bank in the exercise of any of its rights
or
remedies under the Deed of Trust.
8.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Bank
and
its successor and assigns shall not, by virtue of the Agreement, be or become
subject to any liability or obligation under the Lease or any extension or
renewal thereof, by virtue of the Deed of Trust or any receipt or collection
of
rents under the Lease, unless and until Bank or its successors and assigns
shall
obtain title to the Property, by foreclosure or otherwise; and, moreover,
Purchaser in acquiring the interest of Borrower as a result of any such action
or proceeding, and its successors and assigns, shall not be: (a) liable for
any
act or omission of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Borrower);
(b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee might have against any
prior
landlord (including, without limitation, Borrower); (c) bound by any amendment
or modification of the Lease made without Purchaser’s prior written consent; (d)
bound by, or responsible for, any security deposit paid by Lessee; (e) bound
by
or responsible for or affected by any purchase option or right of first offer
or
first refusal contained in the Lease, which provisions shall be of no force
and
effect upon Purchaser; or (f) bound by, or responsible for, any other term
or
provision of the Lease which is personal to Borrower or which may not reasonably
be performed by Purchaser or its successors and assigns in the ordinary course
of business.
9.
Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement, Bank does
not
assume any responsibility or liability for any acts or conduct by any other
person, including but not limited to, a purchaser at foreclosure or trustee’s
sale or grantee under deed in lieu of foreclosure.
10.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, officers, directors,
shareholders, agents, servants and employees of Bank shall have no personal
liability to Lessee and the liability of Bank, in any event, shall not exceed,
and shall be limited to, Bank’s interest in the Property.
11.
Bank shall not
be
bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Property
or any portion thereof; provided, however, that Lessee’s obligations
under the Lease, including its obligations to take possession of the Premises
and pay rent under the Lease shall be excused if the Building, the Base Building
Improvements, and/or the Tenant Improvements have not been completed.
12.
Whenever and wherever in this Agreement, the Lease or in any proceeding
involving the foreclosure or attempt to foreclose pursuant to the Deed of
Trust,
